JMO here—since CA 95/NT no longer contains the Rumba emulation, only the
PC5250 one, there'll probably come a day when the question comes up again.
Then you'll either need to move to PC5250 or purchase the Rumba package.

The help desk issues are real, but, from what I've seen, the difference in
the end user view of the 2 emulations is not all that great. The main issue
seems to be macros. So far there's no easy way I know of to convert Rumba
macros to PC5250 ones. It's pretty much manual labor.
