I will not swear to it, BUT I have seen someone sitting at a Sun 3/50
login to a 386i and begin a DOS session.  He could not doe anything
but text based commands, ie DIR, etc., but it was DOS in a window on
the 3/50 that was running on the 386i.  Therefore I would assume that
a VT100 could do the same, but TEXT ONLY.  For now anyway.  AGAIN, 
don't take this as the absolute gospel truth.
     That 386i is a hot machine.
