But if you're trying to have terminal sessions between VM and MVS via CTCA (real or virtual), you might consider the SIMPASS/CTC product of Simware, Inc. That's what we use (and have been for about 4 years). SIMPASS/CTC runs as an MVS VTAM application and emulates a PVM node. No changes are required to the PVM side of the connection; PVM thinks it's talking to another PVM. Because this is PVM emulation, it is bidirectional, unlike PVM's 3x74 emulation. Terminal access on the MVS side is implemented as VTAM SLU's (Secondary Logical Units) emulating 3270's. I'm not sure this addresses the original question, but there it is for your information.
