Joe,
  Welcome to the world of 'good product, no support'.  Basically,
the story is as follows:
 -> since there is no standard socket library for VMS, tn3270 and its
clones has to be adapted separately to each VMS TCP/IP implementation.
 -> Excelan has claimed that they were going to do this, but has been
silent on the subject for at least 18 months.  They have also claimed
that they were going to support a U**X-like socket library, but that is
making equal progress.  I presume they will actually do these things
right after they start supporting domain name resolution, straighten out
their routing mechanisms, stop going into mail loops whenever they get
header fields they don't like, send out proper mail error messages to
the right places, etc., etc.  In other words, don't hold your breath.
 -> We've started to convert a 3270 emulator to run with Excelan's
Telnet on several occasions, but have gotten sidetracked with more
critical tasks.  We also got hold of a socket library produced by a
private company, but it doesn't quite work and we promised to not give
it out, or to give out the name of the source, so it won't do you much
good.  I can give you our notes and (extremely limited) pre-library
partial work if you would like to have a go at it.
   Good luck.
