>>We recently received a request from a customer for a termcap entry which >>supports the IBM 3270 terminal. >However, there is a utility tn3270 under 4.3bsd which might be of use. "tn3270" doesn't let IBM 3270s access UNIX, which is, I presume, what the person who asked the question had in mind; it lets UNIX systems access hosts that expect IBM 3270s to telnet into them - it's basically a TELNET program and a 3270 emulator wrapped into one. To quote from the 4.3-tahoe man page (which, if you take it literally, implies that if you actually *have* a Tahoe - CCI Power 6/32 and OEMmed versions and derivatives thereof - it won't work, which is, I presume, not true): "Tn3270" permits a full-screen, full-duplex connection from a VAX UNIX machine to an IBM machine running VM/CMS giving the appearance of being logged in directly to the remote machine on an IBM 3270 terminal.
