Has anyone seen/developed/used a 3270 terminal emulator running under X11? How about under X10? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim Totte

There doesn't seem to be a 3270 Emulator available yet that is 'native' to X Window, in the marketplace. Lots work under 'xterm', including my company's (Xicom Technologies). It is really early for this type of commercial development. Hopefully, without breaking any commercial rules about this mailing list, I can announce here, that Xicom has one under development, with summertime release date expected. This will be available for the 386 System V R3/R4 Unix (I can hear those hisses up here in Ottawa) marketplace, so this may still not solve Jim and Peter's needs. I'm certain that all our competitors, and the hardware vendors that provide their own will have one soon, as well. --- Alex Laney alex@xicom.UUCP uunet!mitel!sce!xios!xicom!alex Xicom Technologies, uunet!mnetor!dciem!nrcaer!xios!xicom!alex 205-1545 Carling Av Phone: 613-728-9099 Ottawa, Ont.

In addition, I would like to also have the emulator simulate light pen hits when the user clicks the mouse on a workstation. I know that there is a 'tn3270' under 4.3bsd that provides a Telnet interface to a CMS system, but would like to avoid the overhead of running an 'xterm' to support the 'tn3270' (and 'tn3270' wouldn't do much with mouse hits, either). Any pointers will be appreciated. I'll summarize to the net if necessary. Thanks in advance, Peter -- Peter N.
