The text-oriented version of x3270, c3270, can be built with SSL
support, if the Linux distribution you're building on has the correct
SSL libraries installed. Works great, too.....I use it frequently to
reach .gov VM sites.

If x3270 doesn't support SSL, then stunnel is your friend. stunnel will
run on your local machine, perform the necessary X.509 certificate
verifications, listen on a local port (to which the x3270 client will
connect) and tunnel the x3270 session inside a SSL session to your
server. You can then use any tn3270 client you chose, even one without
built-in SSL support.
