A user is attached, via a 5250 Terminal, to the AS/400. Magically, the AS/400 would make this terminal look like a Telnet terminal (wyse, vt100, xterm, etc.) for logging on, via Ethernet, to a Unix host application. (Over TCP/IP on the E'net...) i.e. the AS/400 + magical product(s) would make the 5250 user believe that he is attached to the AS/400--while actually passing the session data on over to Unix. The Unix host would see the 5250 as a Telnet terminal. The magical product would provide the primary LU and PU functions for the 5250, and magically transform these into Telnet functions. Manual logon/logoff to/from Telnet would be o.k., but via a script... 5250 AS/400 Unix coax E'net ____ ____ ____ | | | | | | | ---------------| |------------------| | | | | | | | |____| |____| |____|
