For me, SFS is enough. In a former life, I did write a complex APPC application that involved code and data in VM, MVS and TPF. That was enough to make me swear off of APPC unless it is absolutely the right tool for the job. If that happens, I will delegate.
I have looked at IPGATE. There are two problems with it: 1. We have restrictions on what we can download and install. The search argument is "vendor support"-freeware 2. The documentation is pretty sparse. I do not have the time to do a lot of experimenting.
