Wilfred,


Somebody has, that is released a supported, configurable, java 
Telnet plugin that allows connecting to VTxxx, TN3270, and
soon other legacy systems (AS400).  It's called WebTerm
from White Pines Software (www.wpine.com).  I have tried the
demo, and am awaiting a 30-eval. of the Jave Admin kit,
and Toolbox that is part of the bundled package.
