Glink 5250 2.5.6

Glink 5250 for iOS serves as the mobile counterpart to Gallagher & Robertson's renowned Glink Professional Edition for Windows, offering reliable terminal emulation for IBM iSeries applications on iOS devices. This application supports emulation of all IBM 5250 terminal models and communicates via the TN5250 protocol, ensuring compatibility with host systems.

The software provides a robust and dependable emulator experience on iPads, iPhones, and Mac computers equipped with M1/M2 chips. It incorporates GlinkProxy, a server component designed to maintain persistent host connections in environments where network stability cannot be guaranteed, such as when devices enter sleep mode or lose Wi-Fi connectivity.
