All of them.   None of them.   It depends on how you look at it.

In order to use a 5250 client over SSH, you typically will set up an SSH 
tunnel.  You can think of the tunnel as a "poor man's VPN".  It opens up 
a port on the local computer (probably a PC).  Anything that gets sent 
to that port will be encrypted and sent to the SSH server, which in 
turn, will forward it to the appropriate port on your System i.

So the (separate) SSH software establishes this tunnel.   Then any 
ordinary 5250 client can connect to the tunnel.  It doesn't even know 
that it's using SSH...
