Re: Every day emulation

Add WRQ Reflection to your list.
Works well, handles 5250 and 3270 emulations.

I've got PComm (Personal Communications) 5.8 which I think is still the
latest.  Basically, PComm is the CA emulator(neither will install if the
other is loaded).  PComm is nice if you just want a straight emulator.
It does 5250, 3270 and some ascii emulations.  It can connect via IP,
SNA, and even twinax (using an emulation card).


The "classic" thin client would be a 5250 terminal.
