  No, from what you describe, Anita, the problem is 'terminal emulation'.
I just noticed that you are on a VM machine.  I believe tile.net is
a unix machine that does not recognize IBM- terminal type.  If you have
a pc on the Internet you can use the TN3270 to telnet, or login to a
unix machine if you have access to one.  Unfortunately, not all unix
machines on the internet have the software to recognize connections from
an IBM...and not all IBMs have the vt100 software emulation.
  If I come across a public www client on VM I'll let you know!
