Two friends are trying without avail to use Persyst's SCOM program on their
IBM PC to communicate with a VAX running VMS.  They have a Hayes in-board modem.
They're able to get CONNECTed, but then (depending on the what they've told
SCOM about the number of data bits to transfer, parity, et al.) one of two
things happens:
	1.  In response to tapping the RETURN key, a checkerboard character
	    appears on the screen
	2.  In response to tapping the RETURN key,
		Username:
	    appears; after typing in the username (which is correctly echoed)
		Password:
	    appears; after typing in the password (echoing is correctly
	    suppressed) an "incorrect login" message appears and it's back to
	    square one.
Final piece of information:  using the program that comes with the Hayes modem,
the friends are able to successfully log on to the VMS system.  (They want to
SCOM program because of its promise of a more complete emulation of a VT100.)

If you know the secret of using SCOM with VMS, mail word to me.  Thanks.
