It actually does, it's just that it no longer uses the 'traditional' telnet form of
"x3270 hostname [port]".
You need to use the -port (possibly --port?) switch to specify the port number you
want to connect to, like this:
x3270 -port 3270 hostname
This is a frustrating change, as it makes it quite inflexible -- especially for the
solution you have described. You used to be able to specify a "hostname port" in the
connect dialog, which would allow you to connect to a different port number without
restarting x3270. Now, to change port, you must exit x3270 and restart with a
different switch.
I don't know if c3270 behaves the same way...
