Does anyone know if IBM or a 3rd party makes a product for the
AS/400 system which can do the following....

   A user is attached, via a 5250 Terminal, to the AS/400.

   Magically, the AS/400 would make this terminal look like a
   Telnet terminal (wyse, vt100, xterm, etc.) for logging on,
   via Ethernet, to a Unix host application.  (Over TCP/IP on
   the E'net...)

   i.e. the AS/400 + magical product(s) would make the 5250 user
        believe that he is attached to the AS/400--while
        actually passing the session data on over to Unix.  The
        Unix host would see the 5250 as a Telnet terminal.  The
        magical product would provide the primary LU and PU
        functions for the 5250, and magically transform these
        into Telnet functions.   Manual logon/logoff to/from
        Telnet would be o.k., but via a script...
