    MacDFT supports up to five 3270 terminal sessions per Macintosh using
    either the Coax/Twinax Card or TokenTalk NB Card. There is no such
    distinction between host sessions and terminal sessions. The IBM PC 3270,
    which first used DFT, was designed to support four terminal sessions and
    one 3287 printer session. Since MacDFT does not support 3287 printing, all
    five sessions are used for terminal sessions. You do, however, need a 3X74
    controller customized to have up to five LUs assigned to the physical coax
    in use. The LU numbers assigned have to be included in the NCP gen and
    have to be active or vary'd on by the host operator. The same sort of
    issues are involved with the Token Ring implementation.

    Non-English character set support is part of the product design and is located
    under the Config Menu labelled Country. Currently, it lists English and
    Italian. If you need to support foreign language sets, a ResEdit of the
    ASCII-to-Device Buffer Code table is required within the application.
