I have an old (2006) version of Pcom "Workstation Program Version 5.9 for
Windows" that seems to have a built-in client.

And the Help->About has a link to the "support home page" at
https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/personal-communications which offers
a free 90-day trial, so at least some version appears to still be supported.

I've never seen any interface specs from IBM, except the obviously
unofficial file  "SS-HCS12-1372-00.pdf" that was mentioned on this list in
2015. I think the most well known reverse engineer is Mike Rayborn of
CBT607 fame, but it has doubtless been done independently by several people.
