It is mentioned in the section on features planned for future releases.
So no, it does not presently support 3270 emulation.

I can't give a specific date. What many sites do is use VT or other
ASCII emulation to go through an intermediate system that does the 3270
protocol conversion. Such a system might be:
. An IBM 7171 accessed via dialup
. A Cisco terminal server accessed via dialup or Telnet
. A UNIX system that has a tn3270 program, accessed via dialup or Telnet
The appropriate key mappings can be easily accomplished.
