Okay.  That is more information to work with.

Can you elaborate?

Did qemu fail to connect?  Did it connect, but the data through the 
connection didn't do what you wanted?

I feel like we're at least talking about a telnet client not connecting 
to Hercules's telnet server properly.  Or at least as desired.

I also feel like we are at least playing with exiting Lego bricks that 
should fit to gehter and work.  Verses modifying or creating new Lego 
bricks.  Both should be possible.  But the former should be considerably 
easier than the latter.

Okay.  That logic makes sense.

I would be interested in seeing a packet capture of the traffic between 
Qemu and Hercules.

I also wonder about "localhost".  More specifically, if Qemu tried to 
interpret "localhost" to be IPv6 while Hercules might not have had the 
telnet server listening to IPv6.

I also find the port 3270 to be interesting.  At least I'm used to 
people using that port for the TN3270 connections.  Which I'm guessing 
Qemu doesn't support.

You did mention a 1052, which I'm taking to be the ASCII terminal.  Is 
that the device listening on port 3270?

Can we see the germane portion of the Hercules config file?

Please forgive me for asking.  But are you using PDOS/390 in Qemu as a 
fancy terminal emulator so that you can have full screen and better font 
support to more comfortable use MVS running in Hercules?

I think that's a laudable goal.  I suspect there might be simpler ways 
to achieve that goal.  But, I'm happy to help (such as I can) what ever 
you want to do.
