I am running some version of tn3270 on my linux box, and it works very
well with the exception of the screwed up screen. (I'm also connecting to
an MVS mainframe, and I get a lot of extra reverse video, but everything
else is just fine.)
Getting tn3270 to compile was enough of a hassle, so I didn't bother
with the screen details. But my brief net search didn't reveal any
newer versions of tn3270 than the 5.1.0 you mention. A few months ago
someone asked about tn3270 and nobody volunteered any real information.
If you want my hacked up sources for tn3270, let me know.
Thanks,
Jeff
