x3270 - X11 program for telnet sessions to IBM mainframes
x3270 opens a telnet connection to an IBM mainframe host in an X11 window.
It can also connect to an IBM AS/400 as a 5250 terminal using the AS/400's
3270 emulation. The window created by x3270 can use its own font for
displaying characters, so it is a fairly accurate representation of an IBM
3278 or 3279.
