Re: esc+esc to see characters typed? -- LINUX5250

Hi,

Do you only connect to the AS/400 through ppp?  Are you actually
establishing a ppp connection to the AS/400 itself?   I don't know why it
should make any difference, but it sounds like you are doing everything
else right.  At least as far as tn5250 is concerned.  Is any else
connecting to the 400 using ppp?
