There are numerous emulations products that BWS can connect to. "I've tried all 
the ones that come standard with BWS"  - is an odd statement to me since we 
don't ship any emulations at all  - we ship the capability to communicate with 
them. Meaning to use the Connection you must have the emulator installed on 
your PC.

I have had good success with many different emulators -  the below is just a 
few that I remember off hand.

Subject: [talkbws] IBM Emulation

Is there an emulator available that BWS can use to connect to a Mainframe 
system using 5250/vt320 emulation?  I've tried all the ones that come standard 
with BWS, and have not had satisfactory results.  The closest I've come is 
using Star's vt220 emulation, but it is limited and won't recognize any of the 
F-keys or the CTRL key used to unlock the screen on errors.  This is all 
functionality that is imperative to working with Mainframe.

I've tried a slew of 'Key' combinations through Star's emulator, but none are 
working.
