Funny you should ask, Rocco. I have a friend who works at IBM, just bought an
Amiga 2000 and got rid of his 3101 home terminal. Then he had a great deal of
difficulty accessing the IBM mainframe until he used Matt Dillon's DME program.
He wrote a command file which he says does a pretty good job of 3101 emulation.
The main problem he has now is lack of type-ahead buffering – I think the
system hangs if you try to type ahead of the prompts from the host. If you are
interested, reply back and I'll talk to him about uploading the command file.
You'll also need to get DME, which I'm sure is in the Telecomm DL here.
