tn3270

Not sure where to post this but here it goes.

I'm trying test connecting to a tn3270 server via Microsoft Windows telnet client. Is it possible to send commands and receive a response from a Windows telnet client to tn3270 server? Essentially trying to mimic what wc3270 does.

If so what are the commands?

When you say "tn3270 server" you mean a mainframe? And when you says "Windows telnet client" you mean a telnet client that doesn't do tn3270? Can't quite see what you're trying to achieve here.

Yes trying to test connectivity from the built-in Windows telnet client to a mainframe. To see if the server is responding without via script.

The Windows telnet client is really 'clunky' and although you might be able to access your mainframe session, it lacks a lot of functionality (try actually working with it in an interactive mode). You'd be best served working with a true 3270 emulation software
