Thanks for the input. I tried tn5250 yesterday but it appeared that the fonts weren't resizable. I'll give the java version a try today. In addition to 5250, I would like to be able to use iSeries Access for the ODBC driver. I've found some other instructions to get that working, but haven't hit on the magic combination yet. If IBM wants to keep the i as a viable platform, they're going to have to get with the program and realize that people are going to want to access it from other platforms, and they need to make it simple(r).

Subject: Re: iSeries Access on Ubuntu Linux

Is there a specific need for IBM's 5250 software? I've had a better
experience using tn5250j on Linux. Aaron Bartell has a version on his
site that fixed a keyboard mapping issue, IIRC. It's simple to set up
and use, very portable, and is much more configurable than iSeries
Access--in my experience.

Also, it works on anything that runs java, so you're not bound to
Ubuntu's distro if you don't want to be.

Just a thought! :)
