There are really two issues here:

one is that you would need an HP terminal emulator. Yes, hpterm does
that. It's part of the OS. Do a 'man hpterm' for details. Try a 'man
dtterm' for an alternative.

The second is: how are you going to log on to your 3000? If your 3000
supports inbound telnet, you can just telnet to him and do whatever
you want. If, however, you want to use the 3000s NS/VT capability to
do logins (which is how it's been done prior to being able to do
telnet), then you will need to either purchase "vt3k" from HP, or pick
up freevt3k, which is a freeware mimic of vt3k. (Sadly, HP dropped all
support for DSCOPY, which is the NS equivalent of ftp, but that's
another topic....)

So merely having hpterm may or may not be sufficient for you,
depending on the network capabilities of your 3000.
