Well, I for one have been very interested. Started with Linux in April'99
as a little R&D project at work, and haven't looked back :) Being able to
use tn5250 was great, because at that point I didn't have access to our
M$ terminal server box. That way I was still able to do my day job even
in Linux. Later I got a Citrix client for TS access[1] but by that time I
was hooked on tn5250. Apart from checking how CA does something (like
with the Shift-left/right cursor Scott has just added) I've not used it
in over two years. It also means I can log into NetShare400[2] from home,
where I don't have Windows anymore. I'm very grateful to the all the
developrs for a great product - it'll be good to see your input again :-)
