| Version: 0.18.0 | Vendor: openSUSE |
| Release: 1.4 | Build date: Thu Mar 26 00:16:14 2026 |
| Group: Productivity/Networking/Other | Build host: reproducible |
| Size: 290901 | Source RPM: tn5250-0.18.0-1.4.src.rpm |

| Summary: 5250 Emulator | |
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.
