I don't know if this is of any help but there are several versions of NCSA
that may help you out.

There is a commercial version called TCP/Connect that contains the following
features that you might find useful:

IBM 3278
VT 240/241 (regis)
Multiple sessions of the above
FTP Client/Server (looks like it oughta on a Mac)
Misc. other items

There are also a couple of PD versions.  One that was recently announced that
allows a 3270 session, but only one at a time.  Also Brown University has a
version that allows 3279 emulation, but here again only one session at a time.

I am not sure where the PD versions can be FTPed from (I am sure someone here
will know that).  Information about the commercial version can be gotten by
sending me mail.
