SYMPTOMS
========

The 3270 Applet does not support multiple connections to the SNA Server computer
to gain access to the mainframe on the same workstation.

WORKAROUND
==========

Another 3270 emulator that supports the Microsoft SNA Server connection (3270
SNA Server Client) must be used to support multiple instances connecting to the
mainframe.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The 3270 Applet supports mainframe multi-session managers such as TPX and
Supersession because they are host initiated and controlled multi-sessions.
