This is redundant, but I would like to know too.

I have worked for a firm of stock-brokers with an AS400; using Rhumba on NT for terminal access and Front Office Automation (which is accessed though a web browser) to make transactions. I thought at the time, all they need is a terminal app for Linux, and they could use Linux instead. It would save them loads... the only other apps I used were Excel to work out sale to realise figures on a rights issue, and Word for letters to clients, nothing StarOffice couldn't handle.
