Hi: I've got a strange question!

Some people here are still using IBM mainframes...they would like to
be able to connect to them as a 3270 type terminal.  Well, I assumed
that you could just use xterm with the tn3270 package to do this in
X11.  No luck.

This is what I did:

xterm -e tn3270 _site_name_

It will connect to the machine, but the keymap is not correctly set for
the Sparc keyboard we are using.  Yes, I have the /etc/map3270 file in place,
but it doesn't seem to be set for a sparc keyboard...it does have
an xterm entry by the way.

Has anyone done this with success on a sparc?  Could you please email
me the /etc/map3270 file you are using?  Any information would be
appreciated!

Thanks!
