Re: AS/400 client

I consider tn5250 "rock solid".  I have used it everyday for several years now
and consider it one of the killer apps for me.  If I didn't have it I would be
forced to use windows instead of Linux.  Even though I can dual boot my system,
I spend less than 15 minutes a week in WIn98 (sometimes less if it crashes on
boot <g>).

I have so much faith in tn5250 I replaced 3 dumb terminals in our admitting
office with console based tn5250 486s.  Because they run 24x7 and I have to take
call every other week I would not put win9x here, but Linux has been fine.  I
also have one in our dietary dept and 4 in Medical records.  These terminals 
also
let them alt-f2 or alt-f3 to access different functions like lab lookup,
alpha-paging, insurance query, etc which could not be done on a dumb terminal.

Keep up the good work, it doesn't get said enough.  My hospital and myself 
really
appreciate your efforts.
