The IBM 3270 Terminal Applications suite comprises of seven different applications.
If you are looking for an efficient and reliable IBM 3270 terminal emulator, the IBM 3270 Terminal Applications suite is a great option to consider. This suite offers seven different applications to choose from, each with its own unique features and capabilities.
One of the most popular applications in the suite is x3270, which is an IBM 3270 terminal emulator that can be used on both the X Window System and Windows. It is compatible with most Unix-like operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Cygwin. It also offers support for both monochrome and color modes, emulating either an IBM 3279 or 3278.
In addition to its compatibility and versatility, x3270 also offers a variety of advanced features that make it a top choice for many users. For example, it supports the full TN3270E protocol, SSL/TLS encryption for secure sessions, APL2 characters, and a wide range of international character sets, including Russian, Turkish, Hebrew, and DBCS Chinese and Japanese.
Other useful features of x3270 include IND$FILE file transfer, NVT mode (emulating a color xterm), a pop-up keypad for 3270-specific keys, a scrollbar, and printer session integration. The software also includes extensive debugging and scripting facilities, making it a powerful tool for developers and advanced users.
While x3270 does not yet support graphics, it is distributed as source code and can be used for free. There are also several different forms of the application available, including a version for use on an X graphics display, a curses-based version for use on a dumb terminal, a displayless version for writing screen-scraping scripts, and a version for printer emulation.
Recently, the release of IBM 3270 Terminal Applications suite included support for proxy, background color and various bug fixes. If you are looking for a reliable and feature-rich IBM 3270 terminal emulator, the IBM 3270 Terminal Applications suite and x3270 are definitely worth considering.
