RE: iSeries Access on Ubuntu Linux

Switching to server mode for a second. Where would I find the best ODBC driver for Ubuntu Linux running a web server and needing to access DB2?

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).

I have been using tn5250j for years on my Linux desktop. It's a great
program. Until recently (when we retired the device) I have used tn5250
to create a printer device on the i5 to drive an parallel-port attached
envelope printer from a a linux machine.
