Hans, you used the phrase "5250 terminal", not emulator.  Had you said
"emulators", I would have said that one of the business reasons for
browsers vs. emulators is that they're zero-footprint on the client side
and platform independent.  They also require only the standard HTTP port
on the firewall, and don't require direct Telnet access to the host
machine.  Browser access does not require interactive CPW.  And browser
access can be offloaded from the machine.

These are some of the reasons the business community has been slowly
switching over from the 5250 interface to the browser.  Much of this, of
course, is in direct response to your employer recommending this course
of action.
