Hi,

We are trying to establish a connection to mainframe from LINUX OS. Are there any documents where we can follow the steps and establish the connection.

in IT using exact terminology is essential for effective communication!
define better Your requirement!

what type of communication,
what basic facilities have to be enabled ( FTP, NFS, ... )
what advanced facilities/products have to be enabled ( DRDA, MQ, ... )
IBM redbooks might be a good start

Are you trying to connect to a z/OS system on the Mainframe from a PC running Linux?

Or you have z/OS PLUS z/Linux on the same Mainframe (in two LPARs) or your z/Linux is running under z/VM on another LPAR?

Are you talking about a TCP/IP connectivity between Systems, or simply asking for a way to telnet?


your question is not clear.
