This book is part of a series of three ITSO redbooks about the Personal Communications family. It does not attempt to describe every feature of PCOMM, nor does it describe PCOMM's mobile connections; these subjects are covered in the following redbooks:

Personal Communications Version 4.1 Implementation Guide, SG24-4681 , which fully describes the Personal Communications family functions, requirements, compatibility and limitations. It includes guidance o n installation, customization and describes the use of many features, such as data and file transfer, printing or the trace facility.

Personal Communications for the Mobile User - DOS, Windows and OS/2, SG24-4456, which contains guidance on Personal Communications remote access to host systems as asynchronous and synchronous communication s. It describes Personal Communications in combination with LAN Distanc e or in a Wireless LAN environment. Definitions are included for related products such as CM/2, 3174 Asynchronous Emulation Adapter, and the 8235 Dial-in Access to LANs (DIALs) Server.

All these books should be used as a supplement to the product documentation, and assumes a working knowledge of 3270 or 5250 workstation-to-host communications and of the OS/2, DOS or Windows environments.
