I've been looking for the same thing. What I'm looking at doing is adapting one of the free tn3270 terminal like the one at http://www.luyer.net/software/tn3270/ or a 5250 interface like the one at http://www.blarg.net/~mmadore/5250.html and add a API like HLLAPI (but much better). What I would like to see is real function calls and not the brain dead IBM numbered calls. All we are tying to do is script a terminal. Maybe it's time for a new Open Source project.

Cheers,
