aix/370 async. term help request

When and if AIX/370 gets announced, Oklahoma State University,
is planning to run it on an IBM 3090-200s.  We have a few
questions with AIX/370 with regard to connectivity.

How do you attach an asynch. network to the AIX?
For that matter, how do you connect any asynch term. to AIX.
We have a feeling that we will have to dedicate several addresses off
of a FEP to access the network.  Is this possible?  How can this
be accomplised?
We have an IBM 3705 and 3725 FEP for the 3090.  We also can not afford
to have a cluster of PS/2 servers with asynch ports hanging off the
PS/2. We do not have the asynch option for our 3174 controllers.  We
do not expect purchasing the asynch option.

We would also like to do AIX/370 from a 3270 terminal.
Is this possible in full screen mode or is only available
in line mode.

The IBM FTN last November discussing AIX/370 and TCF mentioned that
doing vi on the 3090 was very compute intensive since the 370
architecture does not handle UNIX full screen applications very well.
How much of a resource drain are such UNIX full screen applications?
How much of a resource drain is AIX in general (just to have it up
and running.  Other comments are also appreciated.)
(This vi/compute intensive issue came from a user question at the
 end of the broadcast.)

Thanks in advance.
