Re: Comparison of TN3270 Clients
I like Nexus. It is one of very few emulators which properly support polish codepage. Avg response time is 2-4 days. Including "improvements wishes", like more macro buttons or cursor shape. Oh, it is the *fastest* emulator I know. And probably one of the smallest (approx. 1,5MB). -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- 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

Not only that, it is the only emulator I know on which the default configuration not only works out-of-the-box, but also corresponds to how I want to use it.

Actually a certain judge in the North West USofA was ready to keel-haul Micro$**t over Windows. It was found that Windows is a GENERIC name and so it can't be perfected for a trademark. A certain company, Lindows, got shoved into an out of court settlement (in my opinion because of M/S filing nusance suits in the Netherlands and other places) so that M/S would not be seen to not own Windows after all. So a problem with Vista? Nah, that could never be the case as M/S has all those lawyers to make sure that they don't infringe...

No comparisons, but at least you will find out what is out there. We use Vista tn3270 from Tom Brennan (MVS Sysprog). If you need tn3270/SSL, QWS3270 Secure is an inexpensive product.
