What is tn3270 (IBM 3270 terminal emulator)?

tn3270 allows a Macintosh computer with a TCP/IP network connection to negotiate a Telnet session emulating an IBM 3270 terminal.  Features of the emulation include color, extended highlighting, APL and 3179-compatible graphics.  When a Macintosh II or other Macintosh with a large screen is used, different screen formats are supported.  tn3270 will act as an FTP server for file transfer, and also supports file transfer as part of a terminal session when IBM VM/CMS is being used on the host computer.

Although primarily a 3270 emulation program, tn3270 also supports line mode Telnet connections.  This support allows tn3270 to operate with hosts which establish a line mode connection before entering 3270 mode, as well as with line mode only hosts.  When operating in line mode, tn3270 emulates a DEC VT52 terminal.
