- Take a good look at TN3270 by Peter DeCamillo, Brown University. This is
- a *very* good 3270 IP based telnet. It can do all the popular variations
- of 3270's (I use Mod 3B, 32x80), complete color control, and even 3270
- graphics (I regularly capture SAS images for "cleanup").
-
- It is available via anonymous FTP from brownvm.brown.edu. I'm sure this
- won't be the only recommendation you get for this gem.
-
- There are other app's readily available to do the rest of the functions
- you mention, albeit I'm not aware any "one" application that does it all.
- It would probably be a monster!!!!
