RE: Character-based (Green screen)/twinax systems?

I agreed about the rock solid reliability of old twinax hardware. Unfortunately, twinax is no longer supported on current hardware.

You can do still do 5250 emulation. While still fully supported, it's rather antiquated and not something I would try to get into now.

Subject: Character-based (Green screen)/twinax systems?

Hello,

(Very!) many years ago I worked with a s/38 using dumb char-based terminals (including op console).
It was a successful setup.
Everything was very simple, and very, very reliable.

Now I am in a position to influence some IT.

So, my question:
Does the system i (or whatever the S/38 is currently called today) allow for simple dumb terminal, twinax connectivity?

Best regards
