For tn3270, you could use ODIPKT (from husc6.harvard.edu) and NCSA or
Clarkson Telnet.  Any X-Window implementation that uses packet drivers
could probably use ODIPKT, although you wouldn't be able to use the
Workplace TCPIP stack at the same time.  (You could use IPX/NETx though).
Basically, look for X Window implementations that use FTP software's
TCPIP stack. (DESQview/X, due out 'soon', will use it, I believe).
