ssh won't work anytime you connect to a different system due to the fact that it asks if the key is correct.

Huh? I tried using CVS with SSH from PASE, and it worked fine.

Connecting only to known hosts and using key authentication would probably work, but otherwise using ssh to connect to remote hosts from QP2TERM won't work.

Correct, it won't work from QP2TERM under a 5250 emulator. That's why I suggested using Putty...

While I still can't get ./autogen.sh to work because of missing autoreconf, I am almost done creating autoconf tests for AIX. With appropriate preprocessor variables define we should be able to protect the accept member of the Tn5250Stream structure.

I'm way beyond this point already. I have tn5250 compiled on PASE. I didn't need to muck with autoconf, I just changed the name of the pointers in the Tn5250Stream structure. Seemed easier, and then it can run exactly the same on all systems.

It looks like malloc() isn't the only library function that is weird on AIX. We're going to have to handle snprintf and a couple of others.

Strangely, I didn't run into any issues with malloc or snprintf. I wonder what I did differently?

I _am_ running into issues with it not finding the .tn5250rc file, though... and I can't see why... still looking into it.
