[comp.windows.x] good 3270 emulation for X11R4?

carey@H2SUN.SPH.JHU.EDU (10/10/90)

we use tn3270 inside xterm but the fonts behave
strangely (become small when 3270 is highlighting)
and the screen often needs to be cleared of stray
characters.  can anyone direct me to a better
piece of emulation software (connecting through
tcp-ip) or a configuration of tn3270 that will
behave better inside an xterm?  thanks.

What is really needed is a program to run on IBM machines, that can be told
about your X server via something like telnet (maybe to a special port) and
then it will open a window on your server, and a psuedo-3270, and you are
then connected direct, with no ascii translation trying to pretend to work
on a vt100 (always messy from 3270's).
