Switching to server mode for a second. Where would I find the best ODBC driver for Ubuntu Linux running a web server and needing to access DB2?

I have been using tn5250j for years on my Linux desktop.  It's a great
program.  Until recently (when we retired the device) I have used tn5250
to create a printer device on the i5 to drive an parallel-port attached
envelope printer from a a linux machine.
