Yes.
In the meantime, you can use a separate tn3270 program on your PC,
or you can access the mainframe through a 3270 emulator -- a special-
purpose box such as an IBM 7171, a terminal server that has 3270 emulation
built in, or by telnet'ing from Kermit to (say) a UNIX system and using
tn3270 from there to the mainframe.
