RE: Has anyone looked at this?

Hmmmmm.

VNC clients seem to be available for MANY os's, making it a decent choice
for host access.  If IBM made a version of iSeries navigator and/or "Ops
Console" that ran in PASE (they say they're rewriting it in Java), then we
could use VNC much like Microsoft's "Terminal Services" to access the host
console/GUI interface. No more requirement for Winblows to manage the
iSeries.

Rob this got me thinking if I could get a 5250(real) upand running in the
VNC session.  I got the VNC part all setup and tried to find an AIX TN5250.
I was able to get a X3270(AIX version) as that was the only X anything I
could find.  I tried to compile the LINUX TN5250 with AIX's C++ under PASE,
but I could not get the MAKE to work.   So I turned my attention to a JAVA
solution and downloaded a JAVA 5250 from mochasoft.dk.
I had to set my DISPLAY environment variable to the session nave that VNC
gave...DEMO400.3x.com:1  and started the java 5250 client thru QSH.  WOW!
it works.

I did this mostly for a educational exercise, but it blew me away, one more
way to connect to the 400.
