Anyways, I don't think I have much to say about how to use Linux in
conjunction with the iSeries. Certainly, when I was involved with iSeries
development (up until 2003), there wasn't much interest in supporting
anything other than Windows clients. I don't know if anything has changed
there since in that respect.

And that is where the community effect of open software stepped in. tn5250, x5250, and tn5250j are a result of linux and freebsd folks stepping in and filling a void. IBM was totally Windows focused and others had an itch that needed scratching - tada! tn5250!

the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
