Would IBM I Access Client Solutions work? It is Java based and can be run from a shared folder. Supports Windows, Macs and Linux.

Subject: RE: Web based 5250 emulation

We are a college but this is not for students to use. Employees on campus who we would prefer to have using our web site (IBM I based) but there are a few options we have not convert yet that they need occasionally (once every three months) so we don’t put client access on their computers. We also have a few employees who need 5250 access from home for apps that we have no intention on converting to browser anytime soon (and they are OK with that) so out solution to both of these is a browser based 5250 emulator. The one we do use is Active X based to restricts browser choice and leaves out anyone with a MAC but Active X based was the only option we could find when we made that choice.
