I just installed SuSE SLES8 31bit on zVM 4.4. I configured Hummingbird to
do an SSH connection. When I try to execute the connection I get the

/usr/bin/xterm, not /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm, but I'm not running SLES8.
Even yours is probably a link to /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm, so that's ok.
If you want to do an SSH session to your Linux
I'm running SLES8 and /usr/bin/xterm is a link to /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
Does /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm exist, and have execute perms?

Some of the products we use have X-based admin functions, but that probably wouldn't

could get a decent ssh client that didn't mess up ANSI graphics.
What I HAVE used successfully
I do not have the links you show on your SLES8 for xterm.
I checked another SLES8 and they are there. This is strange. I am
installing from scratch (5) SLES8's one after the other with all the same
options. The first one does not have the xterm link. The second Linux does.
I am puzzled on why one
On the affected system, is the xf86 rpm installed?
Try:
rpm -qa | grep xf86
