Re: Tablet 3270 Emulators and tablets for mainframe support
There are also browser-based clients that use HTML5 and AJAX to create an emulator that does not need to be installed on the tablet. Some of these work quite well, and on any device. The downside is that the connectivity is controlled centrally at the server. The upside is concurrent session licensing (instead of per device), and tolerance of flakey cell-based connectivity because the protocol is HTTP instead of telnet.

I did a search in the Apple App Store (I have an iPad at home) and found there were a few more choices than I expected with a price range from free/lite to $40.

I saw this about the same time I am engaged in discussions around the value of BYOD for mainframer's. Anyone using tablets/iPads either corporate or BYOD with secure access to work 3270 web apps (more than just email like Good) for support or remote work? I would be interested to hear what is working for you or what you tried and didn't work either on-list or privately if you don't feel comfortable posting back to the list.

Re: FTPS windows client
A few people mentioned BlueZone FTP, so I am replying with specifics. It is free and you can download it from bluezone.rocketsoftware.com. It supports text-based automation so you can create BlueZone Transfer List and execute them from within the GUI or pass the transfer list filename as a command line switch. The online help has the information about how to use those features. It works well with the Z/OS files system and has support for the CO:Z SSH Server You can email me off the list if you have any questions.

Re: Gordon Crovitz: Who Really Invented the Internet?
About 10 years ago I was in a meeting with Vint Cerf and couple of others executive from Worldcom. One of our sales guys made a joke about Al Gore inventing the Internet. Instead of starting the meeting, Vint invited us to his office to show us pictures of him with Al Gore (and a bunch of other famous people), and gave us a short history lesson of the Internet and the large role Al Gore played in making the Internet available to the public instead of keeping it for the military and academia. Though Al's role was only legislative, I found it interesting that Vint Cerf gave him so much credit.

Re: PCOMM copy-paste (quite another issue)
The reason is that the line drawing characters use the APL character set. When you paste to another application, it does not know how to handle the those characters so they display as the corresponding ASCII characters at the same position in the character set. Some emulators convert the lines to Unicode line drawing characters in the clipboard so they paste properly. Screen printing may do the same thing. I do not know if you can get PCOMM to covert those prior to pasting.
