Q: pcomm 6 on mac

I'm getting real tired of running VMware on my mac(s) just so I can have a virtual windows 7 machine in order run IBM PComm 6. I must use PComm 6, no way around it. I can't seem to find any work around for using a window machine... Anyone, Anyone, Bueller? I am running Yosemite..

Mac mini, Windows 7, (VMware)

    Why are you asking us? Pcomm 6 is not an Apple product. Never was. Ask the developer if they intend to release a Mac version.

    1) The forum is a place to ask questions for the hope that someone has experienced the same dilemma. 2) I prefer Mac over windows. 3) There are many products/software that run on Mac's that aren't apple products. You being a level 8 on this forum should understand this. 

     

    I am unfortunately required to use PComm 6 due to the archaic nature of the State Nebraska's intranet (Microsoft). I must use PComm 6 in order to connect to the state VPN. Simply doing from my Mac software would make my life easier and speedier.

    At the moment the best I can find it the Brown University TN3270 (see http://brown.edu/cis/tn3270), but I met a bloke from IBM at a user conference recently who said that yes there was a PComm for Mac in development (internal use?) but so far I haven't been able to find any further news.  Come on IBM, now that you're buying so many Macs, lets give the OS X a little love!

    Like SgtJiggy from GI who wants IBM to do something to support his needs, you are posting in the wrong forum In fact you directly addressed IBM in your post " Come on IBM, now that you're buying so many Macs, lets give the OS X a little love!". Asking IBM to do anything here will do you no good. Address IBM if you want them to develop something.
