A Mainframe in Your Pocket?
Posted by Andy Sjostrom in "DEVELOPER" @ 09:01 AM
TN3270 from Aton International brings terminal emulation to Pocket PCs. The updated version includes a number of new features including a soft keyboard. TN3270 can be used to get at the "mainframe green screens" or to develop .NET applications that use communication protocols underneath. If you'd like to reach OS/400, CICS, VM/CMS or MVS directly from your Pocket PC, then this is for you! Price is $49.95 per single copy and there is a free 14 day trial version.
"The new version adds ease of use features including full screen landscape mode, new soft keyboard (pictured at right), and “on the fly” session switching that allows access to both mainframe and web services data without having to exit a program or reset the device. The package combines a .NET component with a user interface that looks like the screen of a TN3270 terminal."
