5250 is an IBM terminal / controller system. It is similar to the much
more common 3270 series (but the underlying protocol is different). For
one thing, a 5250 terminal is usually connected to it's controller via a
twinax cable, whereas 3270 uses coax. I think that 5250 is real common on
IBM's midrange systems.
If you want to find info on it, consult the IBM KWIC (Key Work In Context)
reference for a list of 5250 manuals.
