ABSTRACT:
A protocol converter (14) allows communications between a host (12) and remotes (16, 18, 20) that operate using different communications protocols. The protocol converter (14) includes processes (50) and subsystems (60) for establishing a communications session between the remotes (16, 18, 20) and the host (12). The processes include a session manager (52), a set of facilities (54), and a set of utilities (56). The subsystems include a logon subsystem (62), a communications subsystem (64), and a translator subsystem (66).
