TN5250 Emulator, FREE for 30 days. The 5250 Emulator provides secure, seamless connectivity to IBM (iSeries) AS/400 hosts. Tn5250 is a 5250 terminal emulator, used for connecting to IBM's AS/400 (now known as eServer iSeries) midrange computers. Tn5250 implements TN5250E, which means it is capable of device name selection, and printer sessions. Iwarpddprdmap: iWARP Direct Data Placement and Remote Direct Memory Access Protocol (1.2.0 to 3.4.4, 60 fields).
Ramme. Ramme is one of the latter variants, namely a simplistic and unofficial client that makes it possible for you to access your Instagram feed directly from the comforts of your computer's desktop.

Description
tn5250 emulates IBM's 5250 compatible terminals to connect over TCP/IP to an IBM AS/400.The terminal emulation works on any local terminal supported by curses, and provides 132x27 and full colour support where possible.An IBM 5250 terminal supports a number of special keys, and does a lot of processing itself before sending data to the host system. Because a standard ASCIIterminal does not support all these keys, tn5250 uses control sequences to perform the operations.
Named session support (with the env.DEVNAME option) is available for most versions of OS/400, but is only supplied with V4R3 and later versions. ForV3R2, V3R7, V4R1 and V4R2, please see informational APAR II10918.
Options
tn5250 options are described in the tn5250rc(5) man page.
Usage
This manual assumes that the user is familiar with a real 5250 terminal, or another 5250 emulator,and only describes features relevant to tn5250 itself.Keyboard Mapping
The following table lists the 5250 functions implemented by tn5250, and thecorresponding keypresses. Keys are represented as Emacs does: C-aTn5250 Mocha
means hold Ctrl and press A, M-a means press Esc orC-g followed by A, and C-M-a means press Esc or C-gTn5250 Mocha
followed byTn5250 For Windows

- Which keys generate f11-f24, backtab, backspace and delete is very dependent on the configuration of the terminal.
- tn5250 as400sys
- Connect to the system as400sys, using the default translation map (37) and a generated session name (QPADEV####).
- tn5250 map=870 env.DEVNAME=session1 env.TERM=IBM-3477-FC as400sys
- Connect to as400sys using the translation map for CCSID 870 (Eastern Europe), the session name SESSION1 and with a terminal supporting colour and a132x27 display.
