IBM 3270/5250 Emulator for NeoLinux What are IBM 3270 and 5250 emulations? Instead of using dedicated text terminals to access applications running on IBM AS/400® computers and IBM S/390® computers, customers can use terminal emulation software to communicate to those host computers. The terminal emulation software communicates to the host computers by mimicking the display of the original text terminals, (on the client device) and mimicking the behavior of the text terminal with respect to data exchanged with the host computer. IBM® developed this IBM 3270/5250 emulator software package originally for IBM Network Station thin clients, and later ported it for IBM NetVista N2200 and N2800 thin clients. Unique among the various 3270/5250 emulator software packages available today, only this one was developed at IBM by IBM 3270/5250 programmers. How do I know which emulation I need? IBM 5250 emulation mode is used to access IBM AS/400® applications. IBM 3270 emulation mode is used to access IBM S/390® applications.
