Essentially, it appears that this will be available from two universities: Cornell (via Maryland Distribution) and Berkeley. In addition, FTP Software responded that they expect to have it by March 1987. The Berkeley program uses the Ungerman Bass TCP-PC product, which is particularly interesting because it not only has a netbios interface, but also a Name Service facility. BERKELEY: Date: Wed, 22 Oct 86 17:39:15 PDT From: Greg Small Greg Minshall is porting his Unix tn3270 to the PC. It is based on Ungermann-Bass's TCP-PC product that runs on their intelligent Ethernet controller. Tn3270 interfaces to the Ungermann-Bass extended Netbios interface through a temporary socket library, but will be converted to Ungermann-Bass's socket library for the PC. The extended Netbios interface allows running telnet, ftp, tn3270 and user socket programs concurrent with IBM PC Network applications. The Netbios supports IBM PC Network applications with standard Netbios calls using TCP/IP for the transport and routing. The extensions give TCP, IP and direct Ethernet access. For more information on tn3270, mail to minshall@opal.Berkeley.EDU.

This is the same (more or less) program that runs under 4.2/4.3 Unix. We are currently beta-testing it, and we expect to give it to users (on campus) next week (or so). What you would get (from us) is an executable, plus source. You would need a PC compiler to compile it; we use the MetaWare compiler. Greg Minshall (415)642-0530 CORNELL: Date: Tue, 21 Oct 86 06:41:56 EDT From: Scott Brim We've had it for quite a while (in color, with user-definable keymappings, all that sort of stuff), but not for all interfaces. I've forwarded your mail to the keeper of that code. Scott Date: 04 November 86 20:04 EST From: RHX@CORNELLC Peter, Here's a copy... (Forward to anyone who might wish to know.) ------------------------------ To: Peter W. Day From: Dick Cogger At Cornell, we have ported the MIT stuff to Aztec C, ported it in C to the Macintosh, added Omninet drivers, and added a nice 3270 for talking to Wiscnet. We also have a compatible serial-port version which works nicely against the 7171 running a modified H19 definition. on the PC, there is key and color mapping, user selectable. The Mac has a rudimentary macro facility which will be added to the PC. For both, 3270 has a built-in file transfer which uses a CMS module and operates via the TCP connection which is up for Telnet. Very simple from the user perspective, but not super-high performance. We plan to submit all of it to the Maryland distribution as soon as we have the source cleaned up and organized-- current target for the PC stuff is Thanksgiving, more or less. We'll be adding drivers for Appletalk and IBM token-ring, eventually. -Dick FTP SOFTWARE: From jbvb%borax.lcs.mit.edu@CSNET-RELAY Thu Oct 23 15:31:21 1986 Date: Tue, 21 Oct 86 20:01:25 edt From: "James B. VanBokkelen" FTP Software has a contractural committment to include a tn3270 in its PC/TCP package (major extensions to PC/IP by John Romkey, who has left MIT) by March, 1987. We hope to beat this deadline by a good deal. jbvb@ai.ai.mit.edu James B. VanBokkelen FTP Software, Inc. (617) 864-1711 CMU: Did not reply, although John Romkey listed in his note to pcip-request dated 21 Sep 86 a CMU version "available to anyone, token ring driver and 3270 emulator available to IBM ACIS universities." Rob Warnock called to point out that the key to porting 4.3bsd tn3270 to a system that has telnet (with source) was to change the telnet on the target system in the same manner as telnet was changed under 4.3bsd for tn3270.
