Christopher,

It can be done this way:

  |---ssh/ethernet---> remote PC running tn3270
  |
  v
PC <----ethernet---> ethernet to twinax gateway <===twinax====> AS/400

The gateway is similar to a terminal server. A quick search turned up these 
guys who sell them.

5494 Remote Controller
Connect to your AS/400 via an Ethernet or a Token Ring LAN.

I did something similar to this to get dialup console access to a System/36 
(which also uses twinax).
