I suppose it could be done. We used to use channel-attached security boxes and and 6250 impact printers with special forms...now it's all network-attached on a private LAN, still zHosted. No ICSF but it's the same principle. cheers Peter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
