If you want a session manager for your zVM on IFL. Try YVETTE, a free session manager from the VM Download Page http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/. It is not as "high sophisticated" as TUBES or VTERM, but it works good for me. I have setup my TN3270-SCEXIT Procedure, that if I enter LU name YVETTE, it automatically dials to my YVETTE service machine.
