3.2.2 Customizing RealVNC
The latest VNC protocol is Version 4, which is the default with the VNC client. This version will
work with the VNC servers shipped with SLES 10 or RHEL5.
If, however, you need to use protocol Version 3.3 for SLES 9, open the VNC client and click
the Options button, as shown in the left side of Figure 3-9. Click the Misc tab. Click the check
box Use only protocol version 3.3 as shown in the center of the figure. Finally, click the
Load/Save tab and click Save to save the changes.

Your VNC client should now be ready to connect to the VNC server that your Linux systems
will have.
3.3 3270 emulators
To access a logon session with z/VM, it is common to use a 3270 emulator that runs on
Windows. Many commercial products are available. Some of the more common ones are:
Attachmate Extra!
Hummingbird Host Explorer
IBM Personal Communications
Quick3270
It is beyond the scope of this book to explain the details of configuring all the various
emulators. However, it is recommended that you investigate the following settings for your
emulator:
Set the Enter and Clear function keys to be where you would expect them.
On some emulators, the default Enter key action is set to the right Ctrl key of modern
keyboards. Likewise, the Clear key action is sometimes set to the Esc key in the upper left
corner of modern keyboards, or to the Pause key in the upper right.
Set a larger window.
Often the default number of lines in an emulator session is 24. You will probably be more
productive with a 32, 43, or more lines if they can easily fit in a window, given your desktop
display size and resolution.
