Ah, the 1270! I bet they were running CICS BTAM. BTAM is pretty sleazy, we'd lose BSC lines for no reason and they wouldn'd IPL for us because there were only a handfull of programmers using the BTAM lines for downloading programs to the Series/1 minis. Sometimes just pulling the 3725 cable out of the modem induced enough error recovery to fix it. Everywhere else we use VTAM for telecommunications with a little TCAM on the side. Geo
