Your little projects is definitly doable..

However, you need to put some serious thought into what the terminal will connect through to..

Listed from easy to difficult (relative to personal knowledge)

1) a simple chat app, comunicate between the terminal and PC..

2) Simple Telnet terminal. PC has Inet connection and app simply works as a translator, Inet - RPC3 and vice versa.

3) Dos Cmd session. A little harder, but doable.. However you will have to write code to do all the valid Dos Commands. And an executed app will not run on the terminal, but rather on the PC itself.

4) a FTP (and/or) Web browser. Browse the web and download files. this will require a lot of graphic work, and will only work if you can transfer acctual graphics to the terminal. (If it is a fixed character set terminal.. you could still do FTP)

5) Mirror the windows session. (again only if the terminal has graphic capability's. This is a lot of work, and will require a lot of API work to get the image onto the terminal.

To start it whould be a very good idea to try and get full details on the protocol used on the terminal.. Hooking it up and listening, and poking it with different data (while recording everything) will return plenty for you to work with..
