Well, I'm use the tn3270 that comes with Novell's Lan Workplace for DOS
version 4.2.  The tn3270 version is 4.12.
It appears to support the model 5, but it uses Novell's WLIBSOCK.DLL,
not WINSOCK.DLL.  So, it probably won't do the job for you.

Good luck,
Clark

There is a Win3270 package on SimTel, in the WIN3/winsock section.  I'm 
not sure if that is what you want, but it works for us.

Thanks, that turned out to be exactly what we needed.  The commercial
version is called QWS3270 Extra, which will do the job (with a VERY slight
mod to support IBM-3278-5-E, which the author has agreed to put it)
and offers a 199-user site license for $2000.
