A colleague of mine asked me to post this : Is there anywhere a card/software package that allows emulating a 3278 or 3279 IBM terminal on a PC that runs Xenix ? Such cards and softwares exist for MS/DOS, but he told me he was in trouble to find one for Xenix. Please reply using mail, not in this conference. I will summarize if possible. Mail to : ...uunet!mcvax!imag!inria!csinn!schiltz schiltz@csinn.uucp Thanks. Jean-Pierre Schiltz Cap Sogeti Innovation - 118 rue de Tocqueville - 75017 Paris - France +33 (1) 46 22 60 27 # 232

Here are the two answers I got. I was asking for an IBM terminal emulator
running on an IBM-PC running Xenix.
The solution was found here in France. Thanks again.
*********************************
Rabbit Software's 3270-PLUS is available for XENIX in both SNA and BSC.
This emulates the 3274 (or 3276) controller as well as up to 8 3278/3279
terminal sessions and printers.
All kinds of neat features like on-line Help, screen browsing, screen to
printer, screen to file, output to file for later playback, and printer
output to file, spooler, or physical printer are included.
The SNA version can be run concurrently with RJE and LU6.2.
Truly a wonderful product.

There is a program called TN3270 that will allow a 3270 emulation over TCP/IP
lines. Basically if you have the PC on an Ethernet system you can use tn3270
to access an IBM mainframe that's on the same ethernet.
Dick Cogger at Cornell University (RHX@CORNELLC.BITNET (or maybe it's
CORNELLA) or try RHX%CORNELLC@vax2.ccs.cornell.edu for Internet)
has been working converting TN3270 to IBM PC's and MacIntoshes.
I'm not sure whether he has
released the code for this yet or not. TN3270 was origianlly written at
MIT (?) for use between a Unix machine and an IBM.
This solution may require more of a setup than you can provide, since it
requires some sort of TCP/IP on the IBM mainframe. Dick Cogger may be able
to suggest other alternatives.

Actually, the stuff that was released from MIT (a TCP/IP package called PC/IP)
only included a telnet emulating a Heath H19 terminal. The folks at Cornell
brought up the 3270 version. There are a few other versions of this available:
one from Berkeley and one from FTP Software. Also, to the best of my knowledge,
all of these run under PC-DOS, not Xenix.
