Hi all,
Since I suffered a bit to get Slack/390 installed on my Hercules S/390
emulator, I decided to post my findings as a step-by-step guide on my blog.

Hi, Richard
Thanks for your many kind words and thoughts about ned and 3270 on
Linux, by the way!
Ned in UTS when confronted with a non-3270 forked the UTS sim3270(1)
program and piped to and from it. The capability remains in ned, but we
have not offered sim3270(1), so the point is sort of moot.

I like the phrase fullscreen mode better, because (1) block mode can
be confused with block special devices, and (2) the 3270 driver always
runs a 3270 in block mode; at least as I wrote it the 3270 is inherently
a block-mode device, whether used in line mode or in fullscreen

Indeed Linux does TERM CONMODE. See
linux/arch/s390/kernel/setup.c:conmode_default(). The s390 kernel has
