It's far easier for us to support that than to try to continue dealing with EBCDIC/3270. So that's where we're going.
I will say this: If anyone with 3270 expertise is still alive (I imagine them chained to a desk in some sub-basement at IBM) and wants to help do the work to make 3270 easier to support up here on the surface world in the 21st century, here is a message for them:
Come on out, friend! The Cold War is over! No flying cars yet, but we have those cool communicator dealies from Star Trek! They've got more processing power and storage than you could dream of! We use them to run physics simulations³ for fun! Join us!
Until I get a response, though... ssh is where it's at.
I'm still alive and have 3270 expertise......
