I am trying to find out if there is a Unix implementation
of TN3270 (RFC 1041 compliant). We have some PC's that
support it, and would like to access a Unix box (acting
as a server) using TN3270. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to find out if there is a Unix implementation
of TN3270 (RFC 1041 compliant)....
RFC 1041 does not describe what the world presently implements as "tn3270".
I do not know of any implememtations, and current discussion on the "tn3270"
mailing list seems likely to evolve in a different direction. RFC 1123
touches on current "tn3270" practice, but there is no definitive write-up.
We have some PC's that support it, and would like to access a Unix box
(acting as a server) using TN3270....
The only "tn3270" servers I know of are for IBM mainframes (either the
mainframe or some sort of gateway box has an IP address). Mapping the
block-mode EBCDIC data stream to Unix conventions is a large project.
