So the website is http://www.mathrutech.com/index.html.
The pricing seems suspicious to me. Are you sure this is a real mainframe and not an older version of IBM Z Development and Test Environment (or a newer version of Rational Developer for System Z Unit Test), where you’re actually running on a PC? The software list they provide seems to match the RDzUT list. But even here what they’d need to be doing is allowing multiple users to share the same “one” test environment user. IBM’s site says that the personal edition of Z Development and Test Environment runs at least $5,220 per user per year, which is $435 per month.

Sept. 2, 2020 from 11-12 AM EDT I really enjoyed "meeting" all of you at today's session. I mentioned that I have rented time on a zOS system to test some macro code using HLASM. The following is the reply that I received back from my first inquiry into getting access to HLASM. The price offered to me was $50.00 US for one month, and I still have more than a week left! <==================== ORIGINAL RESPONSE ===========================> Hi Dan, Thank you for choosing MathruTech service.
