I hope you plan to follow IBM's support recommendations which are listed in http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246364.pdf . In particular, there are only two emulators which IBM has tested and which are known by IBM to work correctly, according to the above IBM document.
Of course, other emulators might well work just fine. It would be up to you the customer to verify with your chosen emulator vendor that your chosen emulator will work for this function. A careful review of this document might well be in order as well, as you used the word "remote" in your original note. IBM recommends a private network, with (my paraphrase) the same availability characteristics as a console would have when a dumb terminal is physically attached to a 3174 control unit via coax cable. In other words, if you go to 1) your own emulator, over 2) your own network, over 3) your VPN, and over 4) the public internet, you are likely to be disappointed. My words, my paraphrase. I suggest posting additional questions with more specific points which you plan to implement - in order to find out if there is anyone else out there in the whole wide world that has implemented the solution you intend. Just my opinion....the emulator is the least of your worries with the clues you've provided.
