I have three questions and I just want to make sure I have everything correct:

I use tn3270 and x3270 to connect to mainframes and provide terminal emulation.
Both of these applications provide fullscreen connections.

And there is also linemode connections.
This is what is provided by c-kermit and ms-dos kermit, and kermit 95??

Old versions of c-kermit permit file transfer though this mode (linemode
connection). But if  fullscreen connection is wanted like through tn3270, and
file transfer is needed, the current c-kermit application is needed??

In addition, with protocol converters, this is a box that provides fullscreen
terminal emulation that is placed between the local host(the unix timeshares/
workstations) and the remote host (IBM mainframe). Is there anyway to know
there is a protocol converter there and how to activate it??


Thanks.
Chris
