I'd like to use APL2 on an IBM 3090 from something other
than an APL terminal.  I have two courses to explore:

One option is to use a UNIX based Xwindow terminal.
One problem would be to find an appropriate font.
A more significant problem is that the program to set
up a telnet session on the IBM host, tn3270, doesn't support
use of the APL character set.

My other option is to dial into the IBM host using a PC
as a terminal.  

Has anyone tackled this problem?
