that sounds like mine. It was property of the National-Victoria Grey Trust Company (now that dates it doesn't it?). I was their on-call support programmer for the stock transfer system (COBOL - IMS mainframe system with a CICS front end) back in the late '80's and early '90's.
They agreed with my proposal for a desktop (amber display compaq) at home with the modem so that I could log in to resolve production problems from home, rather than taking a pager and driving in to downtown Toronto several times a week, and sometimes several times a night!
