[ale] 3151 terminal emulation?

[Jerald Sheets]

I have worked on AIX systems for over ten years.  After giving up  
trying to find a quality 3151 emulator, we implemented all  
connections as vt220 connections.  The termcap is good, albeit  
antiquated on AIX systems.

I've used Smartterm and Putty for varying connections.

If you need to connect serially, you can  take tty3 or 2 (depending  
on the system's age) and configure it explicitly the way you want to  
use it.

However, for telnet/ssh, we've always used vt220.
