try this:

telnet {mainframe's_IP_or_name_goes_here}  623

and see if you get a connection to port 623.


here's an example of me using telnet to connect
to port 80 on this machine:

akulkis@kulkix:~/.mozilla> telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 kulkix.kulkinet ESMTP Postfix

telnet> Connection closed.
