Hi. I am a new systems programmer at this IBM 4341 - VM/CMS 3.1 site.
I have been trying to connect to this school's modem line with my IBM/PC
at home. No matter which speed,parity, etc. I try, I can never get through.
I tried Procomm+,PC-Talk and various other programs. People tell me that
I need an 'emulation card', but I have no free slots in my PC.
Deep inside, I feel that I can connect without extra hardware.

We have NCP that handles these tasks, and I wonder if I need to modify
the NCP definitions for that line.

When I connect to the school, I get about two garbage characters every
two seconds for a while, then nothing else. I sure would appreciate
your help, since it would be so nice to not to drive drive half an hour
to a terminal at school, for a simple reader check..

Thanks,
