The trick with no GUI is getting the keys mapped properly. How you do
that will vary by what OS you're running. It's been too long for me to

it.


You're probably thinking of http://www.chowhouse.com/~james/tn5250-HOWTO.pdf
.

It can also be tricky getting the program to start automatically with the
right TTY settings without a login. We had a modified getty line in
/etc/inittab that started a shell script, that statred login with the right
options, that started tn5250 with the right options. We probably still have
the whole thing saved somewhere.
