Re: Telnet 5250 in Linux or Browser

I use tn5250j for extended use and tn5250 for quick casual use.

I've assigned tn5250 to a keyboard shortcut and created a command called
DROP on the AS/400 that executes "SIGNOFF DROP(*YES)". Really fast way
to check on something or issue a command and get out.

Too bad tn5250 doesn't do block copy and paste. If it did, I might use it
instead of tn5250j.

Rock on, PLA

this thread is intend for debate about Telnet 5250 programs available in

IMO, 5250 in a browser (at least the pure browser implementation, not the
plug-ins) is adequate for casual use only ... anyone who is going to work in
a 5250 session long term needs the all the capabilities of a good terminal
emulator.

Personally, I use CA at work and tn5250j at home. I kind of like CA's 5250
emulator, but it comes with way too much baggage.
