I’ve been using Rocket Terminal Emulator Web since I moved to a Mac. I was a long term Vista user and while I prefer Vista RTE Web is a great product. It is full featured other than GDDM which I don’t care about. I have adapted. The benefits are that a single Node.js instance can server hundreds if not thousands of clients. 3270 not a heavyweight wire protocol and Node.js is designed for multiplexing on a single thread. You can deploy it on z/OS but I would recommend distributed Linux which has real epoll and not emulation using poll. It get’s updated regularly which some would consider a benefit as opposed to having to download a desktop app. It has tabs which is nice. > Rex > > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of > Bob Bridges > Sent: Monday, September 25, 2023 2:14 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Any recommendations for a 3270 emulator for Android > > "Outdated" terminal emulators?
