On Windows, we have been using Tom Brenannan's package for years with no issues.

The Linux version seems to have some advantage over the Windows versions. There are multiple versions; one I do not like is c3270. I might be the guilty party when I wrote the initial zPDT documentation and mentioned x3270 many times. This seems to have prompted more use of x3270. Other notes: I typically use ispf split screen (with only two screens split) and this works well. (More "splits" might work, but I have not used them!) The keys can be reassigned rather easily. (The most common reassignment is "where is the 3270 Enter key".) I strongly suggest downloading x3270 from the same source that supplied your Linux distributions. There are multiple x3270 rpm's out there and there can be slight differences! Large screens are easy; I normally use 50x133 for ispf, etc. For Windows, my choice was Tom Brennans's package because I was too lazy to work with x3270 under Windows.
