There is a new product called "IBM Windows Connection 2.0" which provides
support for 3270 and 5250 connections.  Interestingly, it the interface
is via DDE rather than the standard HLLAPI that is provided for OS/2.

Digital Communications Associates (IRMA) provides a HLLAPI interface and
the other major package (whose name escapes me at the moment) provides
a package that is sort of like HLLAPI, but breaks out the calls as
individual subroutine calls that take a window handle in addition to
the standard parameters.
