- If this is the posting originated from David Dalke, the problem that he
- encountered with QWS3270 was a problem with a telnet command that QWS3270 did
- not understand. I am willing look into changing QWS3270 to handle
- this command but I haven't been able to find any documentation that explains
- the option. It is "please use terminal location number". Anyone out there
- have the revelant documentation?
- I am also in the process of attempting to add NVT support to QWS3270. This
- will probably be available in a week or so.
