This is a good question for us old timers...
TN3270 is not quite like any other telnet and most telnet/ssh programs
don't do TN3270 at all. Remember that on the Linux platform, the
terminal connection program typically doesn't do emulation, unlike
Windows where emulation is done by the application (Kermit is a great
example of the difference here).
A google search for "linux tn3270" is a good start and led me to
http://www.planetmvs.com/tn3270/ which in turn found x3270 at
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/7814/index.html
x3270 appears to be actively maintained.
Thankfully I don't have any IBM mainframes around here but it also means
that I don't have any personal experience with tn3270 products on Linux.
