== Code ==
* Initial posting: [https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-02/msg05216.html]
* Git: [https://github.com/cohuck/qemu/tree/3270]
 
== Implementation ==
 
The 3270 data stream is not implemented within QEMU; the code only implements tn3270 (a telnet extension; see RFCs 854 and 1576) and leaves the heavy lifting to an emulator (currently only tested with x3270).
 
== Setup ==
 
This example setup is done with a Linux guest running in an s390x-ccw-virtio machine and the x3270 emulator running on a local Linux machine.
 
=== Prereqs ===
 
==== Guest ====
 
* Make sure that 3270 support is enabled in the kernel. You'll need CONFIG_TN3270 and at least one of CONFIG_TN3270_TTY (for additional ttys) or CONFIG_TN3270_CONSOLE (for a 3270 console).
 
==== Host ====
 
* You need to apply the patches or use the [https://github.com/cohuck/qemu/tree/3270 github branch] (until the code has been integrated).
 
==== Other ====
 
* You need to have a copy of the [http://x3270.bgp.nu/ x3270 emulator] (should be packaged for most Linux distributions). Other 3270 emulators have not been tested.
