MochaSoft TN5250 AS400 emulator for windows mobile 5.0

I've used it (not on the Symbol MC9090, specifically, though).  

Worked fine.  Of course, you'll need to test thoroughly in your environment.

Hi,

Why that dificult approach, I assume every scanner supports telnet
otherwise look to TN5250J or any other java terminal emulation.

Hi Murphey2

Difficult? You have used it and decided against it yeah?  I'm really looking for something that does not require developer skills to get running.  The mochasoft offering seemed to fit that.  

Just had a look at the TN5250J developer site.  Not confident that it will run under WM5.0

"The mochasoft offering seemed to fit that. "

Telnet is opening a terminal session on the AS/400 need no other programming then the as/400 appl. that you like to run.
And.... it's free

But not all 5250 applications run properly over vanilla telnet, hence the need for a TN5250 client like Mochsoft's.

as long as you use F1 to F4 and no more key's it's running smothly :-)

Exactly.  :-)

"But not all 5250 applications run properly over vanilla telnet,"

Correct and not all 5250 application will run standard on a 3,7 inch display...
so some special programming must be done anyway
(or give the users +10 glasses)

Murph,

So is it fair to say that you've never used the product that we're discussing here:  Mocha TN5250 for Windows Mobile?

If you had used it, you'd probably know that it renders 80 column and 132 column 5250 monochrome and color screens on touchscreen and non-touchscreen displays, and has very nice scroll and zoom features that make it possible to run any 5250 application on even the smallest mobile screens - with no programming required.

I've yet to see an 5250 application that it can't run.  I'm not saying that one doesn't exist - just that it provides a highly functional TN5250 interface optimized for mobile devices.  

I've been very impressed with it - if you have a need for TN5250 on Windows Mobile, you should check it out.

On a on a 3,7 inch display...???

at our age a 22" monitor is just big enough :-)

I hear you!

Thanks a lot guys!  I think I will go ahead and order the extra RAM required to host the .net 2.0 install and try Mochasofts offering.  For that price, it makes sense.  Thanks again for all comments.

Thanks again. You didnt have any major issues getting it running did you??

I've recommended Mochasoft's excellent TN5250 products for years due to  their quality, price, and excellent "free upgrades for life" policy.  I  was recently disappointed when I was unable to upgrade from their XP  product to their Vista/Win7 product.
 
 When I requested help from their tech support, I was told "That is not an upgrade, it is a new product."
 
 As a result, I'm regretfully withdrawing my recommendation of this product after many years as a satisfied customer.
 
 Disappointing when good companies go bad.
