Another possiblity for 3270 emulation 
is to use a device that makes the
IBM talk on a reasonable LAN. Since UNIX likes
TCP/IP ethernets, there is a company called Spartacus 
that markets a product that attaches to an IBM block
multiplexer channel.

The product is called KNET, and I have personnaly used 
it from IBM PC's, a MASSCOMP and a Sun. There is very
little software that executes on the non-mainframe end, 
it would use TELNET or other standard TCP/IP utility.
The K200 box does the protocol conversion.

The contact info is:
