Do you mean *public* remote access?
Yes, I did indeed mean that (but didn't realize I had to spell it
out).
Since most of the "z" systems out there
are doing stuff like
running the world's financial system, I don't think you'll see
much of that.
The VMS, HP-UX, AIX, etc. advocates (and 'artists') will claim
the same about their equally obscure/niche platforms.
/Here/, an article from a few months back. Have a read, I'd say...

"Mini".
Thanks for the laugh. Seriously though, I hate to break it to you,
but these aren't the 1950~'70s anymore. Nobody cares for those
terms anymore, certainly not those getting out of the education
mills now (who almost ~99% likely haven't heard of "z" or even
"i" either, certainly not through their educational exposure).
A true mini nowadays is one of those ITX board systems or even a
'smart phone', if you will.
