In your own terminal emulator then yes. In someone else's then no unless they've exposed that as a configuration option. The device type and model are specified as part of the TELNET negotiation phase during connexion to the host. Most emulators simply give the user the choice of 24*80 or 27*132 size displays and then derive an appropriate device from that. In the case of PC5250 it is 3179-2 or 3477-FC. If DBCS is required then model 5555-?? is used (can't recall the types and don't have time to look it up). Given that most emulators copy what PC5250 does then I'd say unlikely to be supported however look in the PC5250 .ws file and see if the device type is specified there. You may be able to override it.
