Actually, a better question would be: Why does the IBM 5250 emulator for
Linux exist when there is a very good open source TN5250 client that has
a fine X interface?

And, FWIW, this project existed well before IBM released their linux client.

Darn ... I've had a similar discussion in the past when someone was
questioning why MIDRANGE-L existed when there was a perfectly good
newsgroup available (of course MIDRANGE-L existed before the newsgroup did).

Moving back into the shadows...
