(I also have the number 3270 with the same type of sentences)

5250 is used on AS/400 computers. Not quite so old. This is a real trip down memory lane!

Leave it as it is. 3270 is another type of mainframe environment. Can be ported to newer systems:

: Surely a Telnet 5250 emulator merely enables a non-IBM terminal (eg a Unix workstation or PC) to display data from an IBM mainfram application, using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol. A true IBMer would use a proper 5250 terminal, not stoop to using a PC.
