The reason why I'm interested is for a tn5250 -> SNA gateway.  Such a
gateway needs to handle the telnet negotiation from a server
perspective.  Also, I imagine it would be useful for an AS/400
"Emulation" environment running on Linux. ;-)

Actually, on low bandwidth or heavily congested links, 5250 would be a lot
less frustrating than telnet.
