A draft requirement (in WAVV format) is posted for comment at 

http://www.sinenomine.net/node/610

The summary version is one new CP command, QUERY ESM. Class G for the
basic present and active query (rc=0 if both present AND active, rc=28
if one or the other is NOT true), and a EXTENDED operand for privileged
users (QUERY ESM EXTENDED) that produced status information on the ESM
(active/inactive, vendor ID string, anything else Chuckie wants to tell
us about the ESM interface, like who's connected to *RPI, local or
distributed IUCV, etc).

Word and PDF versions are available; comments welcome.
