Neither the Linux console nor xterm support rules like a 5250
terminal.  It could be supported in an emulator that used X11 directly
(or via Gtk or whatever).

If you can find a terminal that supports rules, you could modify the
terminfo database for it to turn them on when tn5250 starts and off
again when it ends.  Good luck. ;)
