RE: HMC & remote console

I guess IBM is NOT going to update that client, nor the HMC telnet server:

I emailed you the configuration for the iSeries Access emulator earlier. 
Please let me know if that gets the direct connection working.  If you 
still get an error I'll help you get that resolved. 

I've invested support for the os/400 telnet client. 

My initial reply from os/400 telnet is this is not a defect.  They 
designed their 5250 client to talk only to another os/400 partition and 
they use certain "shortcuts" not available to other emulators.  They will 
not update the client. 

Information center is specific that only the following emulators can be 
used with the HMC 5250 proxy.  os/400 telnet is not on the list. 
"To connect to a 5250 console remotely, one of the following emulators 
must be used: 
- IBM® iSeries™ Access PC5250 emulator, Version 5, Release 3 with PTF 
SI13587 or later 
- IBM Personal Communications 5250 emulator, Version 5.7 or later 
-iSeries Access for Linux® emulator, Version 5.2.0-1.4 or later " 

I cannot open a defect on the proxy as this is an unsupported environment. 
 We are considering a doc apar on the telnet client.  I will create a 
support document on this error.  I've informally passed this on to the 
proxy developer and asked if it can be fixed in a future release.  If you 
would like an "official" design change request submitted please let me 
know.  I'll need to call you and get some additional information (impact, 
justification, etc).
