FYI: LOCIS via tn3270

[Charles Bearden - Cataloging]

I also greatly prefer to use LOCIS via tn3270.  

Another service that accepts both kinds of connection is University of
Texas at Austin's UTCAT:

tn3270://public.dp.utexas.edu/
telnet://utcat.utexas.edu/

Here too I find tn3270 friendlier, though I use this site much less often 
than LOCIS.  

I wonder how much of such a preference is due to "feel" and how much due 
to concrete advantages conferred by tn3270 emulation?  Any thoughts?
