Hi,

In addition to the tn5250d, I am getting ready to work on a tn3270d
server.  Since so much work has been done already on the tn5250 project, I
was wondering if would be worth leveraging by trying to accomodate both
5250 and 3270 datastreams in one library.  Or perhaps two libaries that
shared a lower level library for handling I/O, telnet negotiation, etc...

What are the pros and cons of doing this?  I don't want to re-invent the
wheel and have to maintain two code bases, but I also don't want the
5250 code to become awkward to maintain.

Mike Madore
