Jared,

Thanks for the pointer on the 3270 emulator. I don't get on the mainframe much 
anymore but needed to recently and decided to try out your suggestion. I found 
this emulator to be very good. The only thing I had to adjust was setting the 
cursor style to small and unchecking insert mode. Then, the WC3270 worked fine 
with both Jaws and window-Eyes.

I found a free terminal emulator that works well with jaws with out any 
aditional scripts. It can be found at 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/x3270/wc3270-3.3.9ga12SSL-setup.exe?download
If you have any questions feel free to contact me off list, I just started with 
mainframes in the last couple years so know where your coming from as far as 
the accessibility challenges of getting started and learning a new interface.
