- As far as I know, Cisco terminal servers support only asynch, ASCII
- terminals. They use tn3270, but what you get is a 3270 emulator
- designed for use with ASCII terminals. I don't know of any Cisco
- product that will connect to real 3270's. We're using tn3270 for
- access to our IBM systems. People seem to like it. It is based on
- the Berkeley implementation, complete with termcap. You have to put
- the termcap entries into the Cisco configuration file.
