RE: Measuring network transmission times

IMHO,

You're wasting your time.

The 5250 protocol dates back to 300 baud dial-up lines.  The amount of data 
transmitted is very low.  Unless you're trying to squeeze 1,000s of users onto 
a single wireless access point, it's highly unlikely you'd even come close to 
maxing out the wireless bandwidth.
