Please confirm if it is DLSw between the Cisco and OS running in Hercules?

Sorry for being obtuse.  There are a LOT of different things in IBM 
networking, compounded by other vendors, and I want to make sure I'm 
tracking properly.  Particularly as this is something I'd like to 
reproduce for similar reasons.

Would you please clarify if you have the "Local" or "Remote" 3174?

Can "Local" and / or "Remote" 3174s be converted to the other end of the 
link?

I ask because I think most "Local" 3174s expect the host to be channel 
attached.  Don't they?
