We were the envy of the mainframe folks, since we used x3270 under X/Windows and got to adjust the size, rows and colours. While they were stuck with the desktop consuming old massive terminals. Of course this was only after the mainframe sprouted tcp/ip connections.
Ancient history, but worked at a financial firm which ran Windows for Workgroups with the DLC protocol (so it wasn't eating the 640KB) over token ring, and some quite expensive do-it-all terminal software. Some of the old heads still had a 3270 in their office.
