Re: Linux Client emulator

[Raul A Jager <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I instaled directly the RPM from sourceforge, and did not like the way 
it worked, until I upgraded, following the instuctions given in the same 
place.  Since then, I abandoned my green sceen and I work almost only in 
tn5250 (realy, xt5250 in the graphical session)  There is a command 
ld5250d for using the pc printer as an AS/400 printer.  I think it will 
work with any printer that you can drive from Linux.  I never tryed a 
serial printer, but I did try a virtual printer that was actualy in the 
AS, and it worked.

I rearely reboot my Linux. I think tn5250 on Linux is at least as stable 
as your actual DOS, very likely, more stable.

You can write me in spanish (out of the list), if you like.

Raul.
