Your only hope would be to use a bridge board, and have a Irma or Forte board installed on the PC side. You would have to use the Forte software (my nomination for the worse written software in history) on the PC side of the amiga. However, if he is looking for a program that interfaces to SIM/3270 (a VTAM application that lets ascii dialins emulate 3270's), then he IS in luck. I have a copy of a program called ami3270. It is basically a VT100 program that has mapped the PF keys and such to the Amiga's PF keys. Drop me a line if you would like a copy of this program.
