Scott,
	You asked whether I've thought about making tn3270 run
on an Encore Annex or other terminal server.  Not really.

	However, Phil Budne <budd@bu-cs.bu.edu> mentioned his
desire to port tn3270 to, specifically, the Encore.  I offered
him (in Monterey) access to the current development tn3270 (which
is easier to port than the distribution tn3270).  I don't know
if he has thought much more about it.

	There are problems, you understand.  The main problem is that
an Encore wants to have variables accessed as 'x[terminal_number]'
(or via pointer, or some such), and tn3270 isn't built in that way.
Also, one would like to be able to download 'map3270' (keyboard mapping)
tables.

	Anyway, you might want to check with Phil Budne.  Or, ask
your local, friendly vendor.
