That's your emulator at work. Hercules doesn't know what you did 
until you hit an attention key.

To be pedantic, it's unlike to be telnet (line mode), but rather 
tn3270 or tn3270e

If you have to ask, no <G>  Some IBM controllers (with a -R) 
suffix come with an ethernet or token-ring connection, and you 
can get matching cards for your PC (ethernet controllers are 
more desirable, hence more expensive). But you'll probably need 
professional help to set everything up and generate the system 
floppies.
