Users of tn3270 X are encouraged to use the macintosh-tn3270 mailing list to discuss alternatives to tn3270 X for Catalina. If you are a developer who would be interested in participating in an open-source project to implement a replacement for tn3270 X, please contact Peter DiCamillo. (Links on the site.
