[LINUX5250] Re: TN5250 Protocol Definition

["Paul Tykodi" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

One further document to include in the list is RFC 2877 which is the TN5250E
specification. It includes enhancements to the original RFC 1205
specification. One of the major enhancements in the specification is the
support for printing as well as display emulation.

Best Regards,

/Paul
