Re: Re: 5250 PCI adapter

Thanks. I was able to use the 'lite5250' from that ftp site. Good thing I still had an old DOS-only PC to install it on.
Now the fun can begin.

Why not borrow a twinax terminal from someone in town.
that would be the cheapest route.
Twinax emulation will be a PIA to get working.

I have an IBM PCI 5250 express adapter. I was able to find the correct

I've

found tons of 'tn5250' and TCP/IP connectivity programs, but if I

wanted to

do that, I'd just use x5250 or tn5250, since I already have those.



I was hoping the PCI card would be a cheap way to get a console. I don't

even know if the machine I have has a good OS installation on it, so I

really don't want to spend a ton of money just to find out I'm out of

luck.

Thanks
