Information for package tn5250:
-------------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : tn5250
Version : 0.16.5-471.1
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 274.2 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : tn5250-0.16.5-471.1.src
Upstream URL : http://tn5250.sourceforge.net/
Summary : 5250 Emulator
Description :
The 5250 is most commonly used for connecting to IBM's AS/400. While
one can connect to an AS/400 with a VT100 emulator, it is 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 telnet's
binary mode to transfer the 5250 data stream.
