Branch: pkgsrc-2022Q3, Version: 0.12.51nb5, Package name: tn5250-0.12.51nb5, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

This is an implementation of a 5250 emulator. The 5250 is most
commonly used for connections to IBM's AS/400. While one can connect
to an AS/400 with a VT100 emulator, it's 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.
