So how do you access your system from a smart phone Trevor ?
Serious question here.

And David is the one that bought the iPhone and started this tread.

I think Booth has a Jitterbug :-)

IBM apparently disagrees with green "simple operations". Managing systems
using a (simple) web interface is the order of the day, and the direction of
the future.

There does not seem to be a reason to have a 5250 'emulator' other than to
access old applications and perform your operations in an old manner. This
is not a bad thing, it means that we can keep the older user populace using
the i. It certainly is not something that is a reason to buy an i.

"Hey, look at this 5250 emulator app on the iPhone! It talks to this OS
called i - I better get one of those..."

I find it amusing that Booth would buy an iPhone just to get 5250 emulation.
