RE: HMC access from green screen?

And on the new V7 version, HMC is one of the configuration options in the session connection properties, so it's even easier than it used to be!
(I'm on Version 7, Release 1, Modification level 0, Service level SI45664)

And, aside from the small amount of tinkering you need to do with the
5250 session definition, works really well, and is fast. Moreover, I've never had one fail due to the emulator.

Remember too that IBM i Access sessions used for this DO NOT count
against any licenses so you can install iAccess and the TN5250
emulator for free for the console sessions. So this is not a cost problem.

I have to admit, I've never thought of trying that, but it fails
for me as well.

A $35 copy of Mocha or IBM's Personal Communications (more) is too
easy? Maybe TN5250, free?

Instead of using IBM i Access' emulator, I'm trying to start a console session on my HMC from a green screen telnet session on an LPAR. I do get to the "pick a language" screen, but any input gives me "key not valid."

Has anyone done this successfully, or is the mapping provided by telnet incompatible?
