Let's set something straight here.  As it stands now, AIX/370 does not allow
one to DIAL to it (as far as I know).  There is no reason for why there isn't
such a thing except that it was not asked for.  I do not know how complicated
it would be to write a driver for it, but I was assured by people who I trust
in such matters that it is not too difficult.

On the other hand, if you have TCP/IP package on your VM, you can telnet or
rlogin to the AIX/370 host and use 3270 to do that.
