---
-- TN3270 Emulator Library
--
-- Summary
-- * This library implements an RFC 1576 and 2355 (somewhat) compliant TN3270 emulator.
--
-- The library consists of one class <code>Telnet</code> consisting of multiple
-- functions required for initiating a TN3270 connection.
--
-- The following sample code illustrates how scripts can use this class
-- to interface with a mainframe:
--
-- <code>
-- mainframe = Telnet:new()
-- status, err = mainframe:initiate(host, port)
-- status, err = mainframe:send_cursor("LOGON APPLID(TSO)")
-- mainframe:get_data()
-- curr_screen = mainframe:get_screen()
-- status, err = mainframe:disconnect()
-- </code>
--
-- The implementation is based on packet dumps, x3270, the excellent decoding
-- provided by Wireshark and the Data Stream Programmers Reference (Dec 88)
