But we use a terminal emulators (software which emulates the functions of those old terminals) to type commands into a command line interface using windows/linux/mac whatever. If you are trying to connect to an i5-iSeries-AS/400, you probably want a telnet client that handles 5250. This is called a TN5250 client.
- The AS/400 - also called the 'IBM iSeries,' is a midrange server from IBM, designed for the business world. TN5250 is a terminal emulator which provides access to an AS/400. We have a free lite version, you can test before making an order. The lite version has a 10 min. FEATURES: - Supports all standard 5250 emulation features.
- Freefloat Access is a terminal emulator that connects your mobile computers, handheld terminals, forklift terminals/PCs to IBM mainframes (3270), AS/400 (5250), Unix (VT 100/220), Linux (ANSI) and SAP.
IBM i Access Client Solutions uses the same IBM i host servers as the other IBM i Access Family products and requires the same IBM i Access Family license (XW1) in order to use the 5250 emulation and Data Transfer features.
An IBM i Access Family license is required to use 5250 and Data Transfer.
