Terminal server

Requirements for your terminal server include Perl and, depending on your setup, items from other packages.

For the terminal server you, need a Linux™ instance with:

The IUCV device driver and AF_IUCV address family support (as separate modules or compiled into the kernel)
The iucvconn program (from s390-tools)
The ts-shell program (from s390-tools)
Perl (version 5 or later)

Optional additions:

iucvconn_on_login (from s390-tools)
scriptreplay (from the util-linux package)
Command completion (Perl CPAN module Term::ReadLine::Perl or Term::ReadLine::Gnu)

If the s390-tools package is not included in your distribution, you can obtain it from www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/s390-tools.html. Version 1.30 corresponds to kernel 4.0.

You need s390-tools 1.8.1 and kernel 2.6.29 or later, or a distribution that supports the terminal server function of s390-tools 1.8.1.

If the util-linux package is not included in your distribution, you can obtain it from www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux.

If Perl is not included in your distribution, you can obtain it from www.perl.org.

If the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) modules are not provided with your Perl installation with your distribution, you can obtain them from www.cpan.org.
