IBM AS/400 ISeries

About

This project delivers a customizable server designed to facilitate interactions with legacy systems, such as IBM AS/400 and ISeries, using the Remote Terminal Emulation (RTE) protocol. It supports various terminal types and protocols including TN5250, TN3270, and VT420. The server's behavior is configurable through YAML files, allowing users to define connection parameters and automate sequences of steps on terminal screens. Developers can further extend its capabilities by implementing custom Java tools to create advanced automation workflows for mainframe or midrange environments.
