Data Retrieval Help - 3270 Emulator

windows

Guest
Hello,

I just need to be pointed in the right direction (a book, tutorial, etc.) in reference to building a web application that can function as a 3270 emulator to send and receive data.

I need to retrieve data for my website from an organization that will only grant me access to the data via a 3270 telnet session.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started?in what language?

Also telnet is not really that complex its plain text over the wire.Preferably ASP.NETPreferably ASP.NET


You would not be able to do it in ASP.net. As you can not create Raw sockets in ASP.net the security does not allow for it. What you can do is create a task that runs every so often that does it.

Socket sock = new Socket(.....);
StreamReader sr = (StreamReader)sock.getStream();
NetworkStream ns = socket.getStream();

ns.Write();
sr.Read();
