Hi Dave, I tried to answer one of your question on the TCP/IP ListServ but didn't succeed. Since I see you posting here, here is my answer. Sorry for all other participants of this forum.
I could be wrong but I don't believe so. The "built-in" adapter or any of the other PCI adapters (for a maximum of four adapters) can individually be used by OS/2 -OR- (and not "and") by the S/390 counterpart. Don't forget that as you define these cards in the DevMap, different OS/2 Device Drivers will be assigned (like LAN3274 for use by OS/2, LCS3172 for use by an S/390 Oeprating System like MVS, VM or VSE. Refer to SG24-5669-00, Multiprise 3000 Basic Emulated I/O Definitions at www.redbooks.ibm.com for an excellent redbook on why and how to configure these adapters. Typically, but not enforced, is to use the "built-in" card to connect to an HMC network (in Canada, an HMC is always included in the sale of an MP3000) and use the other cards to connect the S/390 counterpart. BTW, in TCP/IP mode these cards cannot be shared between LPARs. Best of luck. Let me know if you have other questions...

I think the answer is yes because OS/2's TCP/IP doesn't need to use the DIX protocol...but I need clarification.
