I thought I'd dig further into this IUCV point and I found a reference in
the IP Configuration Guide. It appears that IUCV, VMCF and TNF "stuff" is
still available, you just don't necessarily need it. It would appear to have
become an *optional* bit of preparation for the use of the Communications
Server (CS) IP component from being *required* as it was when I used to
teach TCP/IP for MVS.
It is described in the CS IP Configuration Guide under "Chapter 2.
Configuration overview", "Required steps before starting TCP/IP" as "Step 3:
Configure VMCF and TNF" on page 111 of the z/OS 1.8 manual. It appears that
the section headers are logically incorrect since, as far as I can tell, it
really is an *optional* step and depends on whether or not the Pascal API is
used or not. The clearest indication that this step really is optional is
"... therefore, some installations will require setting up VMCF and TNF." at
the end of the first paragraph.
I then found Dana Mitchell's post where he/she said something of the same as
above.

In Dana Mitchell's post:
"At the time there were some functions that were supported on one stack but
not the other, that caused us problems (IUCV perhaps?)"
I read that IBM TCP/IP versions later than 3.2 do not support IUCV. I have
an
old print product that uses IUCV to connect to TSO for printer
administration
functions. The actual prints work ok (port 515) but I haven't been able to
make the Admin panels work. I'm just out of luck on that one, right?
Thanks,
Robert
