Then you are logging in through some kind of 3270-to-ASCII
protocol converter, in which case you can use any kind of
terminal type that is supported by the converter. Since 3101
emulation is probably not supported by any Linux software,
you might tell your protocol converter to use VT100, and then
you run C-Kermit in your Xterm window and all will be well.
