Does anyone know of a TN3270 Communications Folder tool that will
allow VersaTerm 4.5 to connect to IBM style mainframes via the TN3270
protocol (if that is the correct term to use)?. There is of course,
the stand-alone application TN3270, and I can use the Telnet and
MacTCP tools to talk to the UNIX boxes here on campus. But to
communicate with our Amdahl MVS system, I have to go through a serial
port, using the serial tool, when I use VersaTerm. For me this works,
because I have access both to a serial line and ethernet/localtalk.
But many users on campus do not have access to the serial lines, and
VersaTerm has many useful features that TN3270 does not have. So, any
ideas or pointers?
