Any Tandem emulators (using dial-up) for Mac OS X? I looked at Cail
and Crystal Point but they're Windows only.

Good luck!

Most of the emulator vendors currently sell a browser based solution,
but I have yet to find one I like.

We have been using X windows here with no problems whatsoever. Not
for the faint of heart, but it works.

If you do find a 6530 binary for Mac OS, please, please, please let me
know.

If I just had 6 free months, I would consider developing one myself.
This is sorely needed.

if that helps at all

I too used the Menlo product way back in the day. It was called
MacMenlo but I guess it's called CTAccess now. I found this link:

I used Google to search on "6530 osx mac" and got this reference:

Ericom (http://www.ericom.com/ptimac.asp) PowerTerm Interconnect @
$149.00 USD

Platypus Partners (http://www.platypuspartners.com/) JET - Java 3270 &

I don't know any more than this about these products....

Last time I checked, this one ONLY ran under Internet Explorer on the
Mac. Since I refuse to install I.E. on Mac OS, I have not bothered to
try it. I have not heard a lot of good things about this version.
