Right, we run on IBM Dallas under z/VM, with some IBM customization. So when I 
do stuff "from VM", I mean via CP SEND CP VINPUT VMSG ... on a SECUSERed VM 
userid.

Yep:
  $HASP840 BUFDEF
  $HASP840 BUFDEF  BELOWBUF=(LIMIT=39,WARN=80,FREE=39),
  $HASP840         EXTBUF=(LIMIT=49,WARN=80,FREE=49)

So to increase that permanently, I think I would add the following in 
VENDOR.PARMLIB, member JES4202A (I searched all the PARMLIBs I could find for 
EXTBUF, no joy, but I realize that probably just reflects the fact that it's 
defaulting):
BUFDEF BELOWBUF=(LIMIT=39,WARN=80),EXTBUF=(LIMIT=200,WARN=80)
Mind you, I'm taking the BELOWBUF values from what's currently set. Is 39 a 
plausible number?

I'm reluctant to Just Try It because I know that if I get it wrong enough, z/OS 
won't come back up, and then we'll have to get IBM to fix it (and that takes 
turnaround time). But if y'all bless it, I'll give it a shot!

Thanks again,
