You may want to look at a client 3270 emulator for the clients. There is one
out there
called Mochasoft and I "believe" we only paid $250 for an unlimited
corporate license.
They also have 5250 emulation also. I have never used CAE here. We use
Mochasoft for all of
our 3270 and 5250 connections.

Yes, I could technically telnet to the mainframe from the PCs.  The problem
is that keyboard mappings and such don't translate properly with a standard
telnet.  All TCP/IP 5250/3270 emulation applications are just glorified
telnet windows.

Telnet to an AS/400 using the windows telent client.  You'll see what I
mean.

CAE does not emulate 3270, so it won't conenct directly and buying another
client piece for everyone is out of the question.

I wonder why IBM doesn't make something like CAE for the mainframe.  The
closest the have is Host On Demand it seems.
