FWIW, We have used x3270 on linux for many years, and it works fine for us. Granted, I don't work in a 3270 very much; most of my z/OS work is in a ssh shell or ant+ssh scripts.
(We also use a internal python wrapper that starts x3270 through an ssh tunnel with passticket automation automatically login to TSO without a password. x3270's api works great with that kind of thing.) I'm curious to hear more details from those who think that x3270 is terrible...... I wonder how many of these shortcomings have been sent to the maintainer as RFEs? We got some great help from Paul a few years ago with a problem, and we were happy to send him a small Paypal donation.
