I was able to carefully change the text from "University of Michigan Computing Center" by editing *3270RTN. It's hardcoded in there.
I have been able to run ok with Hyperion 4.5, but every now and then it does super dump on me, right after IPL. Last time I had it up for 3 weeks. When I reloaded it, it crashed once but came up ok after I tried again. I can't ever get it to write the dump to tape - it just freezes.
Also, no joy with PTR2 - even with Hyperion 4.5 and any of the three examples in the .cnf file.

Subject: Re: [H390-MTS] Hello from new user.
The host code is stored in the CNFGIFNO area which is a collection of configuration info that is generated as part of the TABLES assembly. In principle it could easily be changed. However when I changed it from UM to MT years ago I discovered that there are quite a few places where that code is used, some of them surprising, and some of them non-trivial to change. I would recommend leaving it as MT.
The block MTS and banner displayed on the 3270 is generated by the 3270 DSR. I don't know offhand whether it gets some of this from CNFGINFO, but it might. In any case it could probably be patched without any significant side effects. I haven't tried this.

Another question: How does one change the banner on the 3270 terminals
that says ‘Univeristy of Michigan Computing Center’? Also, the host
code (It says MT now)
Is that something that can be changed with RAMROD like the timezone?
