Since one can telnet to z/VM and logon to a user (provided, of course z/VM is
set up to do so) Wouldn't it be easier to write some widget for CMS to
talk to a telnet session in a curses friendly manner rather than try to grind,
cut, slice and hammer out a solution to talk to 3270?
Mind, I understand that if you have no network to telnet to z/VM with in the
first place, you have no network through which Linux may deliver
services, and therefore accessing a CMS friendly starter system is somewhat
less of a concern than your network outage.

Since ncurses mostly just deals with output, probably not too bad -- I
faintly remember that Alan Crosswell had done some work on that way back
when at Columbia, but I don't remember where I stored a copy of it.
It doesn't really address the input issues at all, though.
