Instead of using dedicated text terminals to access applications run-
ning on IBM AS/400
tomers can use terminal emulation software to communicate to those
host computers. The terminal emulation software communicates to the
host computers by mimicking the display of the original text terminals,
(on the client device) and mimicking the behavior of the text terminal
with respect to data exchanged with the host computer.

IBM developed this IBM 3270/5250 emulator software package
originally for IBM Network Station thin clients, and later ported it for
IBM NetVista N2200 and N2800 thin clients. Unique among the vari-
ous 3270/5250 emulator software packages available today, only this
one was developed at IBM by IBM 3270/5250 programmers.
IBM 5250 emulation mode is used to access IBM AS/400
tions.
IBM 3270 emulation mode is used to access IBM S/390
tions.
