I had a quick look at the tn5250 package (generally I'm ignorant
concerning 5250) and I think too something is fishy. I don't like that
/etc/cmd/tn5250.global calls telnet and not the tn5250 binary.

I have no way to test anything with 5250, but apparently you do have
access to such a beast and I have a TS-O-Matic. We could team up for a
test?
