Re: New site for Linux/390 Related Articles/Links
David, Thanks. I've already asked him off-list why he wanted to start his own instead of contributing to linuxvm.org. He didn't seem to realize I welcome new content from others, so he said he would be willing to close down his site, but I haven't heard back from him for sure as of yet. Maybe more notes like yours will expedite that.

To echo some other comments, why not just contribute to Mark Post's already fairly comprehensive site, linuxvm.org? I'm sure that Mark wouldn't object to someone helping out, or to give you a section of your own. I'd really like to have fewer places to look for this stuff, rather than more.
Re: Mail Merge on Linux-390
I would suggest compiling the FORTRAN program on Linux, direct its output to a file, and then run the lpr command against it.

We have been using an old Fortran program for this. Does anyone have an example of how to do this on Linux?

IBM Selected to Build Computing Infrastructure for Interactive On line Soccer Game
SEOUL, KOREA, September 04, 2001 - IBM and DreamBall Co., a Korean on-line game service provider, today announced that Dreamball has selected IBM to build an interactive computing infrastructure, powered by the z900 running Linux and Shark storage server, to enable its online soccer game Dream Soccer. DreamBall, a first-time mainframe customer, selected the IBM z900 over competing alternatives from Sun and Compaq, based on the performance, reliability and total cost of ownership of the z900. Dreamball also chose the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server (code named Shark) and IBM tape backup drives to manage and safeguard critical game data. http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/news/pressreleases/2001/dreamba ll_pr_090401.html
Re: Changing the Network Device Address for SuSE on S/390
Ila, You can do it, but it will require stopping any interfaces that currently use the network module for that type of device. I would recommend doing it manually to test, and then using YaST to update the network configuration once you're satisfied. That way, if what you did didn't work, you still have your original setup still in the configuration files. Unless the new OSA card was previously in the LPAR configuration, you will need to re-IPL the image to make it available for detection. (Perhaps. You may be able to configure the device online from the service console, but I've never tried that.) As Rob pointed out, if you're now dealing with a QDIO device, and had an LCS device before, you shouldn't need to shut down your eth0 device (I think). Just insmod the qeth and qdio modules with the appropriate parms, and you should be in business. Then use YaST to update the configuration permanently. Mark Post -Original Message- From: Miller, Ila [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 3:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Changing the Network Device Address for SuSE on S/390 I have installed SuSE linux on an S/390 partition. We now want to begin using a faster OSA ethernet card. When installing SuSE in the partition, we needed to reply with OSA device address and port number right after the kernel startup. Is it possible to change the device address and port number without reinstalling Linux? Is it possible to do an insmod with devno_portno_pairs= as a parameter with the correct device number and port number? How can it be backed off if the new device is not recognized? Ila Z.
