Dear Netlanders:
I have heard about a product called tn3270 (or something like that) that
allows a user on a VAX to make a TELNET connection to an IBM mainframe
(assuming, of course, the IBM speaks TCP/IP). I have also heard that is allows
full-screen IBM access. Is this so or not? Is there a CMU version of this?
It would be very helpful here at Wichita State if we had this. We run
CMU TCP 6.4 and VMS 5.2. Also, any pointers to a similar ULTRIX V3.1 product
would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Tom Wallis

Thanks in advance, We run a version of the old 3270 emulator, much rehashed to be faster, better, smaller etc. etc., and have a lot of people using it on our Ultrix systems (Vax and DECstations). The IBM speaks TCP/IP via an 8232 controller. The software also appears to run on Apollo and Sun. As for a version on VMS, I have always had it in mind to make a version by changing the terminal output from the current usage of low-level termcap routines to a VMS equivalent, but haven't done it yet. As for TCP 6.4, if I knew what it was ...... -- _ _ o | __ | jmg@cernvax.uucp | | | | _ / \ _ __ _ __ _| jmg@cernvax.bitnet | | | | |_) /_) | __/_) | (___\ | (_/ | J. M. Gerard, Div.
