I love the iAccess client on my Mac. It is a lot better for me than most of the other Mac Emulators, all of which has some annoying characteristic or other. Guess I am not in the majority! :)
I actually still like the old PWC emulator that ran on Windows 95. It had great mainframe, iSeries, and even ascii emulation on it, and served my needs just perfectly.

I started using this also on my Mac (10.9.5).
The IBM i Access Client Solutions.app that is supposed to launch doesn’t work, I put a shortcut to the acsmain.jar on my toolbar to launch
I don’t get any kind of terminal window, just the management window I can launch the emulators (etc) from.
The emulator seems to work pretty well from my usage so far.
The absence of the normal mac menu function, preferences etc isn’t a huge deal to me.
You would think with this new partnership with Apple that IBM would be offering better OSX support, like RDi!
Thanks
