<BR>
I have MacTerminal 3.0, and want to connect, via coax, to a 3174 controller <BR>
in the building.  MacTerminal 2.3 and its built-in 3278 emulation did this <BR>
easily in the past.<BR>
<BR>
Can I get 3270 terminal and connection tools and, simply by adding them to <BR>
&quot;vanilla&quot; MacTerminal, get my 3270 access?<BR>
<BR>

  <div class="attr SUMMARY">
The only Tool we are aware of is asc3270 from Advanced Software Concepts, <BR>
which offers 3270 terminal emulation via the CommToolBox.  Currently, it <BR>
only supports telnet connections over TCP/IP using their TCP/IP connection <BR>
Tool called TCPack.<BR>
<BR>
Since you already have coax to a 3174 controller, SNA*ps is a better <BR>
solution since it provides better keyboard mapping and terminal emulation. <BR>
If you insist on using MacTerminal, you will have to wait for the SNA <BR>
connection Tool from Advanced Software Concepts.<BR>
<BR>
Other 3270 connection solutions are also available in the Technical Info <BR>
Library.  Search using keyword &quot;Macintosh and 3270.&quot;<BR>
<BR>
On AppleLink, you can find contact information for the various vendors by<BR>
clicking the Library Index button to view the folder structure in the Tech<BR>
Info Library.  An alphabetic listing of vendors is in the Third Party<BR>
Company Directory folder.<BR>
