[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] What is tn3270 and where can I get source.

brad@cerberus.bhpese.oz.au (Brad Keifer) (03/14/91)

I am curious as to what tn3270 is.
Does it take 3270 data streams as I/O and convert this to display on a users
terminal.
If it performs a similiar function to this can somebody tell me an ftp site
for the source. I am looking at running this on a UNIX SVR3 system, with BSD
hooks.
Thanks.

There have been a lot of questions along this line, lately. Just to 
clarify things...

Several TCP/IP implementations use the name "tn3270" for telnet with a
tn327x emulator. (Some such programs are probably available with
source - I'm not a good source for that information.)  These programs
will differ, however, as various ftp's differ. People who want help
with, or information on, a telnet will get faster and more accurate
answers if they can specify what implementaion they are asking about.
These lists have an expert or two for just about everything!
