[comp.sys.m88k] tn3270

	Has anyone been able to use the tn3270 program to connect to an
AS/400? I have the sources in the Contributed Software tape for AViiON Systems,
Revision 2.0. It compiles ok, but the connection is always closed at the
begining by the AS/400 (maybe the problem is there). The configuration is:
                                           ___
                                          /   \
                                         /     \
                                        |       |
     AViiON 300           IBM 8209------| TOKEN |---IBM AS/400

Here's a dump of the protocol copied from a vi screen, there are two non-ascii
characters after the terminal type.

< 0x0   fffd18
RCVD do TERMINAL TYPE (reply)^M
SENT will TERMINAL TYPE (don't reply)^M
> 0x0   fffb18
