I know of the following DOS TN3270s:  our PC/TCP (3278-2 thru 5, 7 colors,
some extended data stream features, multi-session), IBM's DOS product (single
session, 3278-2?), Wollongong's WIN/PC (single session, 3278-2?), Mitek
Systems' add-on to our PC/TCP kernel (3179-G), Clarkson CUTCP (multi-session,
3278-2?).  At least the PC/TCP and CUTCP versions have a built-in FTP server
so VM users can stay logged-in while doing transfers.  The only one I know
of that's ever been available in source form for free was a variant Greg
Minshall did while at UCB, which was in the 4bsd tn3270 distribution.
I don't think it got any maintenance after about 1987, so I wouldn't
expect it to build out of the box.  It assumed a U-B socket library.
