We run a version of the old 3270 emulator, much rehashed to be faster,
better, smaller etc. etc., and have a lot of people using it on our
Ultrix systems (Vax and DECstations). The IBM speaks TCP/IP via an 8232
controller. The software also appears to run on Apollo and Sun.
As for a version on VMS, I have always had it in mind to make a version
by changing the terminal output from the current usage of low-level
termcap routines to a VMS equivalent, but haven't done it yet.
As for TCP 6.4, if I knew what it was ......
