Thanks Frank I don't have one yet. >From the discussion list on the iPad, the Mochasoft free version didn't have >PF keys. In my book, makes it useless. The $35 version does have PF keys.
Next month, at CES (Consumer Electronics Show (?)), everything new, except for Apple stuff will obsolete all we currently know. A couple weeks later Apple will announce all their new stuff. Right now, I plan on waiting. I have VPN and TN3270 on my Blackberry. Ok for limited use. Not suitable for much screen work. And viewing PDFs (IBM manuals) is really a chore. Right now, a thin laptop, dedicated for TN3270, Web, and PDF viewing wins. But I keep wondering about the tablets..... Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting >>> "Frank M.

Try the free version: http://www.mochasoft.dk/iphone_tn3270.htm Frank M.

Has anyone tried using TN3270 on an ipad or other tablet? I see there is a TN3270 application available for the ipad (OTC about $35). Does tablets have VPN available? As a side question, does tables have apps that use PDF files? I assume that there is a Putty type application. Also, can you attach, and address thumb drives on these things. Thinking about all my mainframe manuals on a thumb drive accessible via a tablet. As far as communications goes, the more expensive version of the ipad had 3G which seems to require a monthly subscription. Both the expensive one and the cheap one have wifi capability. I would think I could make my Blackberry a hotspot so the cheaper ipad can hitch a ride. I know, a little too late for Christmas, but there is always a New Year!
