My understanding is that the 3270 emulator client on the Qube2 would act as a
protocol converter between the 3270 and vt100 keyboard and screen controls. At
least that is how the windows version works. I am not sure changing TERM will
resolve the keyboard issue which is where I am having problems. But I do
appreciate the thought.
