The 5250 is most commonly +used for connected to IBM's AS/400. While one can connect to an AS/400 with +a VT100 emulator, its not ideal. The problem is that the 5250 is a screen at +a time terminal, whereas the VT100 is a character at a time device. The +emulator uses the binary mode of telnet to transfer the 5250 data stream. |
