A friend of mine would like very much to use a Mac to dial-in to her
company's AS400 minicomputer.  The AS400 has an IBM 5208 protocol converter
attached.  People who communicate with IBM PCs and such use software called
"Dial 3X".  We're trying to find whether the 5208 allows communication with
a standard terminal type like VT100, or if anyone knows what type of
terminal "Dial 3X" emulates.

More to the Mac point, does anyone know of Mac software which emulates an
IBM 3101 ASCII terminal?

Thanks very much.
