Paul, I'm coming back to this post because I've realised that your desire to have all the TELNET services available on *one port* - see below - was mentioned in the post you referenced but your "snip" ignored it.
I had a nagging doubt over just exactly how this worked so I've done the research and now I'm happy - and, indeed, if the original "new function" APAR is anything to go by it was precisely this multiple TELNET server issue that was the reason for creating this "new function". The references are as follows: APAR: PQ37421: SUPPORT TO ALLOW MULTIPLE DISSIMILAR SERVERS TO USE THE SAME TCPPORT http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1PQ37421 Presentation: IBM Communications Server for OS/390 TCP/IP 2000 Update Technical Presentation Guide http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246162.pdf Pages 2.14 to 2.17 Of course, it may be the same port but you'll be required to use a different IP address, very likely a VIPA. But, again, a VIPA can be invoked with a friendly name. There's also the possibility - as John McKown indicated - to set up your "solicitor" function using the facilities of your TELNET client but I appreciate that this probably offers a very simple way also to specify different port numbers so we're back to where we started.
