Perle made terminal emulator
support for 5250. You will need cables for
the Twinax however.
You may want to try to get a card and all the gear to run it, but such
as below would work too.

This sort of device takes a serial terminal attached to it and allows
you to run as a 5250 twinax.
This is sold as a modem adapter, but the way you did dialup with this
was to dial in with a serial terminal to this device. You can also just
use it as a 5250 device. Note that a single 5250 twinax cable can
attach more than one terminal by chaining them together all on a
sequential cable. I thin this one may be set up to allow you to have
three ports, which would be nice. Or attach a printer to one of the
serial ports.
The Twinax connectors are marked 1 and 2 because you need to be able to
loop thru it.
Goodluck with getting your setup going. Too bad they didn't disclose
the shipping details. I hope they have SCSI drives in this late a
model, so you can replace the disk drivews
or can 5250 emulator can be used for the console?
That should have read:
or can any 5250 emulator be used for the console?
