I'd like to announce another (better!) 3270 terminal emulation package that
has been ported to Linux.  For all that wonder what a 3270 terminal emulation
package is, it's a telnet which understands 3270 datastreams, thus allowing
connections to IBM hosts running operating systems like VM, VSE or MVS.

This package was written by J.M. Gerard at CERN, and the two of us ported
it to Linux awhile back.  Several people have been using it around my 
office, and are quite pleased with it.  

A few notable points include: color screens (with -DEXTENDED), no more
of those flaky slow screen paints, stand alone source - requires
no other package to compile, ...

You can get yourself a copy of this program by anoymous ftp from:

    dxcoms.cern.ch:/pub/3270/3270v3.6.tar.Z

Enjoy!
