mindterm is nice . Also consider putty, which has a very small footprint. If you have a common filesystem you can put a putty executable in a common location. BTW: anybody tried http://www.jcraft.com/jcterm/ (Seems to require much more of the JVM, though) Anyway, as people have mentioned earlier, the terminal-based c3270 (part of the x3270, part of any linux distro on s390) is a pretty useful 3270 emulator. So if you already have a linux guest running and accessible by ssh (and you can access other guests internally from it), this will work. Another option: the ssh protocol supports port forwarding (mindterm has easy settings for that. So is putty, and you can easily script it using cygwin's openssh or putty's plink). Connet to that linux guest, and forward port 23 of the computer you want to connect to a local port. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+
