I use TN3270 all the time, not just for connecting to IBM machines. TN3270 is (or at least my version is) a superset of telbin, and is quite happy to be a vt102 instead of a 3270. Again, check your CONFIG.TEL, especially the setting for tnmode. > >Has anyone else experienced this problem with telbin.exe on IBM PS/2 >computers? and if so have you solved it? > >I would be interested in any solution or suggestions. > >Thanks in advance.
