If you already have iSeries access on the server then you could
install iSeries Access for Web (It's LICPGM 5722XH2 on our V5R2
system). That uses an application server (some flavour of WAS, or even
TomCat is fine) to serve up a browser version of the green screen.
Though not as fast as native 5250 it's pretty good. One nice thing is
that it works on Mozilla/Firefox as well as IE.
