[comp.protocols.nfs] TN3270 for PC-NFS

witt@arcturus.UUCP (Rick R. Witt) (09/16/89)

Where can I get a version of TN3270 that runs with PC-NFS?
As I understand it, TN3270 allows Telnet to operate as an IBM 3270
terminal (with the proper interface between IBM and the network).

  R.W. This is to test my ability to do a follow-up posting in the
  "f" mode.  Sorry to you other netters that this isn't an answer.
  Did you get this Rick??  Tom Graham

Greg Minshall did a Unix TN3270 while he was at Berkeley; this could be
ported to DOS using the PC/NFS toolkit (you'd need to eliminate or replace
curses, though).

PC/TCP includes a TN3270, and we support NFS with our Interdrive add-on.

Excelan advertises both NFS and TN3270; I've never used either, but this
would require an Excelan ethernet card.

   Greg Minshall did a Unix TN3270 while he was at Berkeley; this could be

   curses, though).

And Brad Clements ported it to Turbo C and mangled it into NCSA Telnet.

Submitting files to grape by FTP:

You can just put the file where you believe it belongs.  Note that you
cannot overwrite files, so if you want to update something, you need
to change the name.  Send mail to root if you need to delete or
overwrite a file.

To help us keep the 'files.bbs' up to date, we need a .DSC file.  This
file should have its first line be a one-line description less than 40
characters in length.  The rest of the file (no more than ten lines)
can be a more verbose description.  Either put the file in the arc, or
else in the same subdir as the arc.

This archive system is brought to you by the students of Clarkson University.
The Clarkson computer club, CUHUG, maintains this FTP site and BBS.
