     Maybe I misunderstood you, but can't you access the mainframe directly
through a tty port?  At school I dial up and use the 3270/950 emulation
built into Procomm Plus.  It emulates TVI950, but allows the entire keyboard
set of a 3270 terminal to be emulated.  Some VT100 emulators, I have found,
are not quite up to par, Procomm's included, but especially Q-modem.  They
don not correctly emulate the entire keyboard.
