I was able to get my hands on a Solaris running openwindows.....
The xterm client on the as400 works fine using the Solaris Xserver.
The same xterm client on the as400 does not work with cygwin's
Xserver.
This leeds me to belive that the problem is with cygwin......

It hasn't been (I think) recently tested, but there is a port of xterm
to os390 which does some translation to/from EBCDIC. There's a
README.os390 in the source-tarball for xterm (see my webpage for
instance).
I can give advice and fix bugs, but don't have an os390 myself.

I suppose so - but not having setup keyboard mapping for this, can only
guess what has to be done.

Ah yes....
The as400 is an EBCDIC system, and cygwin is ASCII....
How do I fix this ?

Is that ASCII or EBCDIC?

I am extremely happy using X and cygwin.
I can easily run xterms from Solaris to cygwin.
I can easily run xterms from Linux to cygwin.
Neither of the above required any configuration on my part.
Now, I am trying to run an xterm from an as400( iSeries ) and am having a
bit of a problem.
I get the xterm to display but the only key strokes that work are:
1. the space bar
2. the enter on the numeric keypad
3. control-characters
Is this just a matter of running: setxkbmap ???
I am running: XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-44
If it still does not work with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50, what can I do to help
debug this ?
-Thanks
Stephen More
