IBM is pleased to announce that nominations are being accepted for the Personal Communications Version 4.3 for OS/2 Warp beta program.
Personal Communications is IBM's family of host access software for PCs. The software, created for specific platforms, provides a rich set of 5250, 3270, and VT terminal emulation functions over a wide variety of network connections.
Version 4.3 for OS/2 Warp includes these important enhancements:
1. Host Access Class Library and Host Access Beans. These standard Java interfaces provide the same programming facilities as IBM's web-based host access software, Host On-Demand, as well as WebSphere
Host Publisher. These interfaces can be used even if host connections are not via TCP/IP.
2. SSL Version 3.0 encryption support (including 168-bit encryption). Where permitted, Personal Communications Version 4.3 features enhanced encryption support for secure access to host systems via
SSL-capable telnet gateways (such as IBM Communications Server).
3. Euro 2 character support.
Participation in the beta program is limited. To be considered for the beta program, please visit:
