I see with some interst    est all the arguments for sending IAC's in the
middle of the 3270 data stream.  I had a long discussion with our
engineers on this topic yesterday.  No one could make it very clear
to me why   at is being accomplished by sending embedded IAC's. I do not
know of any added functionality I can provide with this additional
su  IAC support (except possibly ATTN and SYSREQ).  Can someone please
explain why do I need it ?

Thanks for the help.
