[comp.sys.ibm.pc.net] Terminal emulation on ibm-pc running Xenix.

schiltz@csinn.uucp (Jean Pierre Schiltz) (12/16/87)

Here are the two answers I got. I was asking for an IBM terminal emulator
running on an IBM-PC running Xenix.

The solution was found here in France. Thanks again.

*********************************
Rabbit Software's 3270-PLUS is available for XENIX in both SNA and BSC.
This emulates the 3274 (or 3276) controller as well as up to 8 3278/3279
terminal sessions and printers.

All kinds of neat features like on-line Help, screen browsing, screen to
printer, screen to file, output to file for later playback, and printer 
output to file, spooler, or physical printer are included.


The SNA version can be run concurrently with RJE and  LU6.2.

Truly a wonderful product.

There is a program called TN3270 that will allow a 3270 emulation over TCP/IP
lines.  Basically if you have the PC on an Ethernet system you can use tn3270
to access an IBM mainframe that's on the same ethernet.

Dick Cogger at Cornell University (RHX@CORNELLC.BITNET (or maybe it's 
CORNELLA) or try RHX%CORNELLC@vax2.ccs.cornell.edu for Internet) 
has been working converting TN3270 to IBM PC's and MacIntoshes.  
I'm not sure whether he has
released the code for this yet or not.  TN3270 was origianlly written at 
MIT (?) for use between a Unix machine and an IBM.  

This solution may require more of a setup than you can provide, since it 
requires some sort of TCP/IP on the IBM mainframe.  Dick Cogger may be able
to suggest other alternatives.
