      Long Description: x3270 is an IBM 3270 terminal emulator for the X Window System. It runs on most Unix-like operating systems -- e.g., Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Cygwin. x3270 runs over a TELNET connection, emulating either an IBM 3279 (color) or 3278 (monochrome). It supports: * The full TN3270E protocol * SSL/TLS (via the OpenSSL library) for encrypted sessions * APL2 characters * Non-English character sets, including Russian, Turkish, Hebrew and DBCS Chinese and Japanese * IND\$FILE file transfer * NVT mode (emulating a color xterm) * A pop-up keypad for 3270-specific keys * A scrollbar * Printer session integration * Extensive debugging and scripting facilities It does not yet support graphics.
