Brennan's Vista. At $30 a seat for a perpetual license, you can't get a better TN3270 emulator. Not only is it cheap, it's way better than PCOMM, Extra, RUMBA, etc. Check it out at www.tombrennansoftware.com.

I also recommand Vista tn3270 to everyone. But "better than ****" is not right. It always depend on the needed features.

For example, if you need EHLLAPI/WinHLLAPI, then you can't use Vista because it doesn't support this stuff. But I guess for the $40.000 Tom Brennan would implelent this ;->


Advantages of Vista (imho)

o VERY VERY good readable Font! IMHO the greatest 3270 Font!

o Vista is small- it fires up quickly and you get quickly conncted

o powerful macro language

o Tom Brennan gives great support (he implemented extensions to the macro language for me - try this with IBM or other competitors)

o It simply works!





Disadvantages:

o No EHLLAPI / WinHLLAPI

o Dialogs are really old-fashioned (yes I know, who cares, but for the first time user they really look, ehem, strange).



I personally would never use another emulator if I had the choice.

bye,
Michael
