[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] 3270 emulator for Macintosh

rizzo@HUB.ENG.WAYNE.EDU (Frank F. Rizzo) (12/04/90)

I heard from a friend that about three months ago, there
was an announcement about a freeware Macintosh application which
supported 3270 emulation over serial and TCP/IP connections.

Does anybody know anything about such an application?

NCSA Telnet from uiuc.edu (?) has a tn3270 emulator which can be anonymously
ftp'ed from this site and runs within NCSA Telnet.  Very good freeware.

Brown University distributes tn3270 for the Macintosh at no charge over
BITNET and the Internet.  Two versions are available, one with built-in
TCP/IP code, and one which uses MacTCP.  Brown also distributes a serial
communications program called Term, which has a user interface similar
to tn3270, and may be used with 3270 protocol converters that support
TVI 950 terminals.  These files are available via anonymous FTP to
brownvm.brown.edu, and over BITNET from LISTSERV@BROWNVM.  Feel free to
contact me for more information.
