I have to support administrative users who use the mainframe interface to
input accounting information. As far as I know, a web interface is not
yet available for fiscal input (nor even if one will be), hence the latter
is not an option.
The windows secure tn3270 application is also less than ideal in that it
doesn't offer mouse support. Consequently, I'm still stuck with Macs,
when it would be cool to start migrating administrative users to linux.
