I fetched the tn3270 source code and have a couple of questions. First, is VM/CMS required to use tn3270. If the IBM only has MVS will it work? The second question is what is the server on the IBM end that provides the 3270 screen? Is it part of TCP/IP on the mainframe or is it something I have to buy? Feel free to reply by mail.

TN3270 is a 3270 emulation over TELNET. You have to have some TCP/IP route into the mainframe such as IBM's TCP/IP with a 3172 or a McData or Open Connect SNA to TCP/IP gateway. The 3270 emulation is performed on the client. That is, on the device on which you are executing TN3270. You send and receive full screens from the mainframe.

Yes, I believe so.

There has to be a telnet server on the mainframe side. Either on the mainframe itself or on some sort of front end box. As far as who does the 3270 keyboard and screen handling, that is the local tn3270 program. If you look at the packets on the wire, you will see that they contain EBCDIC characters. The mainframe really thinks it is talking to a 3270 tube so there is no additional software needed for emulation on the mainframe.
