PVM doesn't have any direct IP terminal interface (you have to do the DIAL PVM hack in the telnet server exit), but if that's OK, it certainly tolerates SSL wrapped sessions just fine. It doesn't work anything like TUBES, though, and you'd have to redo all your macros. The IBM product that used to be "TUBES-like" was Netview/Access Services, but I don't think that's still available (it also required CMS VSAM, which isn't supported or available any longer). PVM also has the downside of not being easily licensable on IFLs at the moment. The VM guys might be about to do something about that, but at the moment, getting PVM for an IFL install is a lengthy and somewhat complicated process. It's also not cheap.
