I am unfamiliar with the term "virtual terminal interface".
Is it a telnet server or a completely different beast?
I don't think very many developers know much about the virtual terminal interface. IBM hasn't published much information about it. There's some documentation at the IBM i Information Center. It's the interface that many of the screen-scraper vendors use. It provides for a native IBM i middleware server in between a green-screen application and whatever client is on the other end of the conversation.
Your server in the middle therefore has the opportunity to transform the 5250 data stream to some other format.
