I was able to use vpnc (thanks to misc@ friends for the help!) and get connected so as to test the current level of the
tn5250 port.
Yes, it works just fine as far as I have tested it.
There is a world of stuff to test in the 5250 protocol and I certainly have not exhausted that, but I have performed
normal daily
operations and also required the terminal to do some tricks, e.g., jump to
27x132, and all is well.
Thanks for maintaining this useful port!
