"I believe the remote system should be the guy to do the
block mode interpretation" - Milo Medin
Milo:
My modifications to 4.2bsd telnet to support 3278 emulation do exactly
that. When, during option negotiation, the client is asked for its
terminal type, it assumes the server host must be a 370 and replies
that it is an IBM-3278-x, where 'x' depends on the screen size
determined from termcap. After that it uses the curses library plus
a file containing terminal-specific key bindings to perform 3270
emulation.
My code has only been tested against the WISCNET implementation, though
after a conversation with Lou Rivas I believe it should work with the
UCLA code modulo some tweaking of the option negotiations.
