I can't answere your sepcific question, but does it need to be offloaded? If you have an OSA adapter, or some other TCP/IP network interface, you can run the TN3270 server that comes with TCP/IP. We generally have well over a thousand TN3270 connections fully encrypted with SSL, and the overhead is small enough that we don't notice it (I just checked, and TCP has used 31 min. of CPU in the last 32 hours, and we have more than just TN3270 running). This is on a z890 without crypto engines. Many shops have more sessions than this. -- Richard ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
