Ok, this is definite strangeness. It appears there is some other issue at work here, because I tried all of the following (on a machine called olympus, with IP 192.168.0.3):
# x3270 olympus 3271 # x3270 192.168.0.3 3271 # x3270 127.0.0.1 3271 and they all worked fine, as expected (including using colon instead of space). However, # x3270 localhost 3271 does not work, colon or space. I have checked that localhost does resolve to 127.0.0.1, as expected... I'll take this away from this list now, but I just thought I should confirm Steve's message and do some more testing.
