4.0;em3270 (emulate_3270), revision 1.0, 82/03/27
EM3270 (EMULATE_3270) -- Emulate an IBM 3270 terminal.
usage:  em3270.{icci|kmw|pci}


FORMAT

  EM3270.{device}

  EM3270 allows a DOMAIN node to emulate an IBM 3270 terminal over an SIO line
  connected to a VT100-to-3270 converter.  The command is meaningless without
  this additional hardware.

  While EM3270 requires no arguments or options, there are actually three
  different commands, depending on which protocol converter you are using.
  The following protocol converters support the EM3270 Package software:

    o  ICCI Model CA20
    o  ICCI Model CA12
    o  KMW Model BAC-3270 FS
    o  PCI 1076

  Specify the device name with the EM3270 command.  For example:

    $ em3270.pci

  if you are using the PCI 1076 protocol converter.

  Follow the manufacturer's directions for connecting the converter you choose
  to the node's SIO lines.

EM3270 COMMANDS

  Once you have invoked EM3270, you may use the following commands:

  H            Display command summary information.

  LI [n]       Select SIO line n.  The default SIO line is 1.

  Q            Exit from EM3270.

  SPEED n      Set SIO line speed.  Valid speeds are 50, 75, 110, 134, 150,
               300, 600, 1200, 2000, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, and 19200.

  [NO]SYNC     Enable/disable XON/XOFF on the SIO line.

  In addition to these commands, two control/key sequences perform special
  functions:

  CTRL/<F8>    Switch between command mode and Remote 3270 mode.

  CTRL/<F7>    Display a layout of the 3270 emulation keyboard.
