Nothing wrong with using the PC to connect.

But forget telnet COMPLETLEY. It's just too insecure. I've not
had telnet running on any machines I admin for at least five years.

As to the emulator - Bob Rasmussen posted about Anzio - and I have
a couple of places who tried other things and loved Anzio for both
funcionality [ which was the only one they'd found that let them
display 132 colum printouts on the screen ] and the price.
