Hi All,
What's everyone running for TN3270 emulation these days? We've
got Extra currently, but we're looking for alternatives due to a
licensing change at Attachmate. We're z/OS 1.4.
Thanks!

Hey Bob,
TN3270 Plus is my choice and has been for many years. Rock-stable
and excellent support (only needed it once many years ago and it
was my issue, not theirs.)
Free trial at http://www.sdisw.com/
Hope this helps.
Best,
Norris

Consider Vista tn3270 emulator from Tom Brennan Software, available at
http://www.TomBrennanSoftware.com/ .
Vista is very reliable and has some great technical/usability features, some

That's what I'm using as well. It doesn't work with MacIntoshes

The cheapest of all could be Mocha TN3270. Company wide license is only
$250.
