I can tell you why my proxy does not currently support tn3270. It is
because I do not send a 3270 data stream for the initial login.
Instead, I use line mode. Emulating a 3270 data stream is a lot
harder. I plan on supporting it soon because it was requested by
our users, one of which is my wife who is a DBA on the mainframe here.
If I did not have to converse with the client before allowing them
through the firewall, it would be easy to write a proxy to allow
passthrough.
:) Actually, I'm a Unix guy now and, of course, I deny 3270 because :)
:) it is an IBM Mainframe protocol and non-Unix things suck. :)
