I've used a program called PC-Anywhere in a manner similar to what 
you describe.  Anywhere is a remote access programs along the lines 
of programs like Carbon Copy and Crosstalk's Remote.  However, it 
has the advantage of supporting access from dumb terminals, including 
the vt100.  I can't say I liked everything about Anywhere (lousy docs,
wierd configuration scheme), but it got the job done.

It's commercial software, and I think it would set you back around $100.
