Hello, We use Multiterm/VM. It's now being supported by Software Diversified Services. We've used it for close to 20 years. We don't have any VSE guest machines, so I don't know if it will meet your VSE requirements. But, it supports an OS/390 console, and access to all of our OS/390 VTAM applications. It's been a very good fit for us.

Well, seems the company that took over Macro/4 is raising prices, as in double. So, we are now looking at other VM/VTAM session managers. Multiple TN3270 sessions really is going to be a hard sell. We have some users that have 10-15 sessions active. Also, we have some coax users.... So, what products are out there, that: 1. Can be used as VSE Consoles (i.e. dial vse 01f) and can support IPL'ing VSE systems. 2. Can switch between about two dozen sessions. 3. Can keep all the sessions active, if the PC/Terminal is disconnected. 4. Would be nice to do cross domain to VSE VTAM for CICS sessions. 5. Support 3270 Model 2 thru Model 5 terminals. A lot cheaper than $20K per year for Tubes/GCS.
