Well you had two choices. You could telnet/rlogin in to the 370 AIX instance or use an
xterm running there to direct things to your PS/2.
The other choice is to use TCF. TCF allowed you to transparently run binaries on a
remote machine and it took care of redirecting stdin/stdout back to your machine.

Right. Generally you used the ps/2 as the terminals

So ... what communications technology and protocol was used? Serial?
(I assume that you could have some sort of establishment controller with (a)synch serial
ports.) Or would it be some sort of red headed step child that ran across twinax / 3270
even though the 3270 terminals couldn't really support it?
