Configuring the z/OS UNIX Telnet server

The z/OS® UNIX Telnet server (otelnetd) provides access to z/OS UNIX shell applications on the host using the Telnet protocol. The z/OS UNIX Telnet server lets hosts in an IP network log on to the z/OS shell environment directly, without going through TSO. The z/OS UNIX Telnet server supports AIX® and UNIX full-screen applications such as the vi editor, so that AIX and UNIX users can use familiar Telnet commands. The z/OS UNIX Telnet server runs in both line mode and raw mode, but does not support TN3270 or TN3270E, as the TN3270E Telnet server does.
