Hello John,

Good question, and I suppose that I should know this (but I don't -
that's why I hang out here :), what are some of the 5250 telnet clients
that support SSH?

All of them. None of them. It depends on how you look at it.

In order to use a 5250 client over SSH, you typically will set up an SSH tunnel. You can think of the tunnel as a "poor man's VPN". It opens up a port on the local computer (probably a PC). Anything that gets sent to that port will be encrypted and sent to the SSH server, which in turn, will forward it to the appropriate port on your System i.

So the (separate) SSH software establishes this tunnel. Then any ordinary 5250 client can connect to the tunnel. It doesn't even know that it's using SSH...
