I went back to the early documetation of the problem I was
having with access to the IBM system. Here is the response
and conclusions that I received when I could not get the
logon to z/VM to work. It is actually appears that the problem
is not with PCom itself, but with the 'Certificate Manager'
and/or Java.
[I've now said more than I know about what this really means. So,
if there is anyone out there who understands what this means and
who might have a suggestion, I open to any/all options.]
