The net/tn3270 port is dead-dead-dead and will take too much effort to fix on 5.x-6.x-Current. This new port is part of a group and has been separated such that the user can pick & choose what he wants. This particular port is for full-screen text-mode aka console sessions with support for curses, OpenSSL, scripting, and SNA-printer emulation with IBM mainframes. I am unable to test most of the extra functionality. Also I am continuing to investigate some text-mode anomalies that may be highly dependent on the graphics/video card in use. But we do need a working replacement for net/tn3270, and this is 'it'. Before accepting this new port: Firstly, I need someone with legal eyes to look over this project's licensing details at http://x3270.bgp.nu/license.html , please. (I posted this request on -ports@ a few weeks ago to no avail.) If agreeable, the next thing to do is ditch the port net/tn3270 entirely. I'm not sure how to do that myself (and not being able to do CVS thru our political firewall here at work). Thirdly, if agreeable, simply add this new port net/c3270 to the collection, please. Yes it comprises only three little files. ;) Fourthly, people with access to mainframes: Test Test Test Please! :) I don't agree with ditching x3270 though.
