If all they're doing is tn3270 traffic to a VTAM application solicitor, convert it to using DIAL VTAM in the VM TELNET connection exit. There will be a slight increase in host CPU utilization (the main point of using the CPA tn3270 server was to offload the IP stack cycles outside the host box), but it should be fairly minimal. Are they also using the CPA as their cross-domain communications link to the other VTAMs? If so, then you are looking at doing EE.
