I should like to connect a 1040 ST to a large mainframe computer,
an IBM 3084-QX running VM/CMS and MVS/JES.  There are 3 ways to connect
ASCII terminals to this machine, the way preferred by the operators is
to use Yale ASCII.  Yale ASCII is a protocol conversion system developed
at Yale and supplied by IBM.  Yale ASCII software runs on a IBM Series/1
mini and emulates IBM 3270 terminals for a number of ASCII terminals.
The mainframe thinks the Series/1 is a 3272 local control unit with a
number of 3277 terminals attached to it.
     The most desirable (according to the CC) ASCII terminal is a PC
or a PC clone running YTerm, another program from Yale.   The second
best ASCII terminal is a DEC VT100.  Some TeleVideo, Data Media,
Lear Siegler, and ADDS ASCII terminals are also supported.
    A number of postings on this network have suggested that
PC/INTERCOMM (Mark of the Unicorn, Inc.; Cambridge, MA) which emulates
a VT100 terminal for the ST and a Hayes compatible modem would be a
good choice.
     Does anyone have an ST connected to Yale ASCII?  Any other VT100
emulators which might work or maybe even a version of YTERM for the ST?
Any comments about PC/INTERCOMM and Mark of the Unicorn?
    If I receive any replies I will summarize and post them.
