Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

The TN5250 open source emulator is free to download, install and use. It’s available for Linux or Windows. There is also TN5250j open source emulator that’s written in Java. I haven’t tried that one yet.

Are you looking for a terminal emulator that you can use to connect to the AS/400 at your work site? Or are you looking for some kind of "system emulator" that makes it appear as if you actually have an attachment to an AS/400? A terminal emulator is easy. But a system emulator is practically impossible. Depending on what your employer makes available, you might be able to install WDSC or RDi components at home that help with some aspects. Tom

There's one out there called TN5250 - it uses telnet to connect & has a fairly small footprint. The keyboard map isn't customisable, but that may not be an issue.

The MochaSoft emulator is not free. You have to pay for it.
