I am curious: Could Jon slap an emulation card in his PC, or in an old 286
in the closet, set at 0,0, and run Rhumba, JerryDraper(can't remember his
product's name), or BOSaNova emulator for the console, even while the PC is
running Client Access over tcp/ip?

Well, Jon, then just go buy a el cheapo 5250 device, slap it in port 0,
addr 0 and go count some sheep...:)  You can find thoses puppies floating
around almost anywhere...  If you want something that's really NICE, take
a look at the Decision Data 486 line...multi sessions and local printer
support...
