I'm searching for a TELNET client software which emulates IBM 3270. I know there is a PD tn3270 package somewhere in an archive. I'm also able to get it, but before I ask somebody to download it for me, I have some questions. I try to connect our CAD environment (based on HP9000/3xx, 835) and the engineering environment (based on Sun) to our AS/400 (OS/400). IBM's AS/400 has a TCP/IP solution which supports FTP, TELNET etc. The TELNET server (also the client) on the IBM only supports ASCII streams, 3270 or 5250. For our applications we need at least the 3270 emulation. As I understand, the TELNET client must support 3270 emulation. In fact, the AS/400 expect a 3270 controller (I'm not sure about this) so the client has to simulate that. The user himself use his terminal as a 3270 terminal (with a quite different keyboard :-) ). Questions: - Does tn3270 have all this features I need ? - Is there another product available (as tn3270) ? - Is tn3270 usefull (speed, performance, keyboardmapping...) ? - Does tn3270 work with AS/400 TCP/IP (not only with VM/CMS) ? - Does tn3270 work with X-Windows(Openlook and Motif), Sunview and ASCII Terminals ? - Is tn3270 also usefull over 9600 Baud Modem ? (Terminal->modem->UNIX->tcpip->AS/400) - Native language support ? Thanks for all answers. (Do I get any ?) :-) Daniel -- Daniel Huber Tel. +41 31 52 96 64 Ascom Autelca Fax. +41 31 52 53 01 CH-3073 Guemligen email: dhuber@autelca.ascom.ch Switzerland uucp: uunet!mcsun!chx400!hslrswi!aut!dhuber
