We are curious about alternatives to IBM's iSeries Access/Client Access.
What TN5250 type products work well? Are some acceptable for casual access,
but not tough enough for data entry?

All of our people are using PCs with Ethernet cards, mostly within our
building, but some do need access through a VPN.

For speed and small memory footprint you can't beat tn5250 (http://tn5250.sourceforge.net). Not only that, but it is also very featureful. And it has great documentation (though I am very biased since I wrote it).
