What kinds of TN3270 products (commercial or 'public') exist for Suns and VMS Vaxen? If you have experience or knowledge of more than one, how do they compare? thanks bunches, Brent Sweeny Indiana University Academic Computing sweeny@gold.bacs.indiana.edu sweeny@iubacs (bitnet)

tn3270 is a product of Greg Minshall, not a class of programs (it carries a Berkeley copyright). It works fine on Suns. The only question is how you want your keys mapped. We have a "tn3270.sun3.bin.tar[.Z]" FTPable from devvax.tn.cornell.edu -- I'm not sure how up to date the executable is but the keymapping is quite nice (I believe Melanie Nesheim put it together before going to work for Thinking Machines). To be sure of getting an up-to-date executable you should go to Berkeley. For VMS, all I know of is that TWG distributes tn3270 to run under Eunice. There has to be something better somewhere, but all I find is rumors. I'd really like to hear about a native 3270 emulator for VMS too. Scott
