The U.S. Postal Service migrated a good part of their CICS workload to SUSE 
Linux Enterprise Server on System z, running on an IFL.  I'm not familiar with 
all the technical details of how it was done, but Mark Neft of Accenture has 
presented on the topic at SHARE multiple times.  (He _was_ involved in the 
project.)  I do know they were using Microfocus COBOL for the application code. 
 Not sure how the CICS piece was replicated/replaced.
