Dumb Terminal or Emulator

We still have a couple of dumb terminals sitting around and currently being
used, though most work is done with PCs running 5250 emulation.



I was wondering if there is any way to tell if a program is running on a
dumb terminal or an a PC. The reason for asking is that I may want to
provide the ability for users to invoke a web search or validate fields,
such as zip code, through a web service. Obviously, these functions would
crash and burn if run from a dumb terminal so I want to be able to check
before I allow such things.



I read the recent discussion on Interactive vs Non-Interactive but did not
see anything that addressed this specific condition (though I may have
scanned the entries too rapidly or casually).



Thanks.
