Subject: TeleVideo communication program?

Can anyone recommend a communications program that will allow a
TeleVideo 1603 to log onto an IBM mainframe?  Right now I'm
using TeleAsync (CPM-86) and Mite (MS-DOS).

My problem is that when I log onto the system it asks if I'm
using an IBM-PC, H19, VT-100, or Microbee. If I reply VT-100
(or H19, Microbee) the screen doesn't clear properly. If I
get a --More-- and hit the page space key it moves the bottom
half of the screen up but doesn't do a clear screen.
It's worse when I reply IBM-PC... Everything appears on one
line.  No LF's or clear screen.

I've tried the Kermit server at Columbia but couln't find any-
thing that would seem to fill the bill.  Of course if I had
found something there would still be the problem of how to
get it into the TeleVideo.  Catch 22 ...

Any ideas?  Suggestions?

Also, I'd like to find a BBS program that would run on this
machine.  It has two floppy drives (760 k) and 256 k memory.
and is hooked to a 2400 bps modem.  Either CPM-86 or MS-DOS
would do...

Thanks.
