Nicola,
You better find a course on mainframe basics.
A mainframe is a large machine with dozens or hundreds of applications and hundreds or many thousands users.
You don't logon to a mainframe, you logon to an application running on it. All
applications are different and serve their own purpose.
Mainframes run business-critical applications and are highly secured, so you
probably won't find a publically accessable one.
I can imagine that IBM could provide one, without any real business app,
just to present it.
I don't mean wide-open, because it has no big sense, but it could be
available as univeristy program. An university could subcribe for
access, pay some "registration fee" and get remote access to z/OS guest
under VM. Not every university can afford z9, but probably near 100%
have Internet connection.
Ah, sweet dream...
