I'd recommend SESSION from Kolinar.  It's got Vt-100 support in it, and
that's fine for a MacTerminal session.  You get 3278 emulation (as far as
CP is concerned, you *are* on a 3278) and it requires no hardware other
than an fep so you can dial in.  You can also run up to 12 logon sessions
simultaneously and SESSION will buffer a non-current-session's output 'til
you return to it.  The combination of SESSION and PVM will *really* do the
job for you, allowing you to multitask across different CPUs from one
terminal.
