Not tested on a device yet. What that means

x3270 in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own x3270 package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so x3270 should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

There is no systemd, and the kernel, disks and network hardware belong to Android, so tools that work with files and processes behave as usual and tools that manage services or drivers have nothing to act on. More about system tools in Breadstick.

About x3270

From Debian's package description

x3270 opens a telnet connection to an IBM mainframe host in an X11 window. It can also connect to an IBM AS/400 as a 5250 terminal using the AS/400's 3270 emulation. The window created by x3270 can use its own font for displaying characters, so it is a fairly accurate representation of an IBM 3278 or 3279.

x3270 is similar to tn3270(1) and c3270(1) except that it is X-based, not curses-based.

x3270 implements RFCs 2355 (TN3270E), 1576 (TN3270), and 1646 (LU name selection), and supports IND$FILE file transfer.

You will need to install x3270's fonts locally, or on your font-server - they are required.
