The new version at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/7814/

Package: wnpp

I no longer use x3270, and haven't even done any work on the package
for more than a year. There are currently open bugs for the package,
but they would be fixed by the latest upstream release.
The biggest problem is the copyright that x3270 inherits from
3270tool.
