Terminal Emulations

3270 Terminal

Protocol: TN3270E (SNA over TCP/IP and TN3270).
Terminal emulation: IBM 3278 models 2 - 5
IBM 3279 models 2 - 5
IBM 3279 (customizable size)
File transfer: IND$FILE file transfers.
Resource name support: Specify a resource name (LU name, device name or device pool name) for a session.
Dynamic Screen Size: The screen size will change dynamically when an application uses an alternate screen size.
Selector pen: Support for selector pen (light pen) detectable fields.
Host Language Support: Select a host language code page for keyboard character translations.
3270 null/space processing: Converts nulls to space characters before data is transmitted to the host. This simplifies insert operations and eliminates character shifting when characters are deleted from a line.
Whole field delete: The delete key affects the whole field if it wraps from one line to another. 

5250 Terminal

Protocol: TN5250
Terminal emulation: 5250 (24 x 80 and 27 x 132)
Device name support: Specify a device name for a session.
Selector pen: Support for selector pen (light pen) detectable fields.
Host Language Support: Select a host language code page for keyboard character translations.
Print key: Support for the 5250 print key.

VT/ANSI Terminal

Protocol: Telnet
Terminal emulation: VT100 (customizable size)
VT220 (customizable size)
ANSI and SCO ANSI
