1) I noticed that our 4d70gt sports numerous flavors of vt100. We purchased a site licence for YTERM (from YALE) which is a vt100 emulator. YTERM seems to work in most respects, but the plane vt100 as known by the system is not 100% compatible with the YTERM emulation package. Does anyone use YTERM as a terminal emulator? Could anyone give me an idea about the vt100 suffixes, so I might make an educated guess on which vt100+suffix would be best? What vt100 emulator works best with SGI? 2) There have been 2 questions concerning tn3270 from the inception of this list to August 88 (the only archives I could find) and neither had replies. Is there a public domain tn3270 that works? I found a public domain tn3270 that is supposed to work with VAX and SUN but I ran into difficulties getting it to work with SGI. * I have subscribed to this list recently and I cannot be sure that my subscription has been achieved. So, if you plan to reply please include a CC to me. Thank You. ------ Paul Campbell | bitnet: campbell@ohstphrm.bitnet Ohio State University | internet: campbell@ohstphrm.pharmacy.ohio-state.edu College of Pharmacy | phone: (614) 292-3588 Columbus, Ohio | "Better living through electronic mail."

I am the manager of the group that is responsible for our IBM connectivity products, which include a coax 3270 emulator, an SNA gateway supporting 3270, 3770, and LU6.2, and a 5080 emulator. We plan on porting tn3270 to our workstation in the very near future. We will get it to work initially to a IBM 9370, running TCP/IP over one of IBM's ethernet adapters. I imagine if we make it a product, we will charge for it, and maintain it. Otherwise, we will probably just give the source away. We will be looking for people to help us test the code in different environments. I know this doesn't solve any immediate needs but I thought I would let you know we feel we should have a working tn3270. David Fenstemaker
