Situation:
I have 600+ clients on Windows desktops. Each connects to a mainframe data application via IBM Personal Communications 3270 Terminal Emulation over telnet (ugh!).

It sounds like you want something like PuTTY, but that allows an X-application running on a linux box uses a windows client for display. I've never done it, but the PuTTY docs mention forwarding X applications:

PuTTY's X forwarding works very well; I use that feature pretty much on a daily basis. In fact, I've used it to run x3270 on a Linux box and have the display presented back to my WinXP/Cygwin/XFree86 environment.
