I tried using the attls config tool on z/osmf.  It has quirks, and I gave
up and copied a known config and extended it.

I now edit the config file manually.  I blogged about it . search for
colinpaice at-atls. If you contact me offline with what you want, i may be
able to create a config file.  Colin
