    I've made tons of progress. The trick is to use a terminal that supports 
TN3270E, not a TN3270 Terminal. These term programs have a field for the 
LTerm or LU name in them. I beat my brains out trying to figure out why I 
couldn't get Explicit LU's to work until I figured out the problem was the 
terminal. 
    Now we are having problems with the IMS session locking up on us. 
Sometimes it works sometimes not. I think the install of Comm Server is 
screwy and am going to try an install from an updated code server. 
    Printing is a major concern too. Special print jobs require special 
printers/forms. We hope to move over to Ethernet laser printers with forms 
templates in them. I gotta solve Comm Server first though. We're very close 
at this point. By the way, a real manual with Comm Server would have helped 
immensly. That crappy "feature list" pamplet they give you stinks.
