3270 emulator for Mac?
I don't remember anybody asking about this before. I just got a new Mac Mini and put it on my LAN at home. I use x3270 on Linux, but don't like it very much compared to Hummingbird on Windows. I know that I can use x3270 on my new Mac, but I'm wondering if there are any Mac native (Aqua) 3270 emulators out there? I have done a Google search and have come up empty (lots of useless hits). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.

Re: 3270 emulator for Mac?
Thanks to all for the pointer to Brown university. I went there and downloaded the dmg file. It does really say whether this is a Aqua (native) or X version, but I'll give it a try. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.

John, In addition to the three votes so far for Brown University, it's also worth noting that it's the recommended Mac tn3270 client for Hercules[1]. For reference, the other recommended clients for Hercules are x3270 (for Unix), and Tom Brennan's Vista tn3270 (for Windows)[2]. Regards, Roger Bowler Hercules "the people's mainframe" [1] See http://www.hercules-390.org/hercfaq.html#3.03 for more details. [2] Incidentally, if there was any justice in the world then Tom ought to be able to win a trademark infringement suit against Microsoft for misappropriation of the name "Vista". But I don't believe things tend to work out like that in practice :-( -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: 3270 emulator for Mac?
Others have mentioned the web site for the Brown tn3270 emulator. I use this program frequently on my Mac. It is OSX-native and it works fine, even with custom screen sizes, but it does have some rough edges and bugs. There are a few commercial offerings for the Mac as well, but I have not tried them.

3270 Emulator for Mac OS X - Japanese
I've been searching Google without much success. Anybody know of a 3270 emulator that 1) works on the Mac OS X platform and 2) supports Japanese character sets? Answers on a postcard, please. Many thanks. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: 3270 Emulator for Mac OS X - Japanese
>I've been searching Google without much success. Anybody know of >a 3270 emulator that >1) works on the Mac OS X platform and >2) supports Japanese character sets? IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand does. http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/hostondemand Runs on all sorts of clients, actually: Macintosh, Linux, Windows, OS/2, etc. The multi-language support is quite slick. You can run Japanese (including translated menus and help) on an English system, English on a Japanese system, just Japanese characters in the 3270 screens (but English menus) -- lots of permutations. And you can switch between languages really easily without reinstalling. My favorite place to install Host On-Demand is on the IBM HTTP Server for z/OS. My next most favorite is to install it on an HTTP server running on mainframe Linux. I have installed it (just for grins) on a Macintosh HTTP server. As a matter of fact it was an old Motorola 68040-based Macintosh. It worked. Full disclosure: I work for the company that makes this product, although I do not speak in an official capacity for said company. - - - - - Timothy F.
