The Data Link Control (DLC) protocol is used primarily to access IBM mainframe and IBM® AS/400 computers. The32-bit DLC protocol software for Windows 95 enables a network administrator to add support for 32-bit and 16-bit DLC programs.

Host terminal emulation programs use this protocol to communicate directly with mainframe computers. The 32-bit protocol software: Supports Windows-based 32-bit programs that use CCB2. Supports 16-bit programs (MS-DOS™ and Windows) that use CCB1. Provides connectivity to local area printers connected directly to the network. For example, you can use DLC to print to a printer (such as a Hewlett-Packard® LaserJet 4Si) that uses an HP JetDirect network adapter to connect directly to the network.
