I recently had cause to wonder why we don't have the option of "slushware" CTCs on the current/latest kit. We can do it for peer mode coupling links,even hiperSockets but not CTCs - for them we have to waste real FICON glass. C'mon IBM - if you need to placate the marketing droids call 'em hiperCTCs for all I care, just give us the option. mmmm ... more whistling in the wind I guess.
