Yes, the 3745 doen't really do TCP/IP. And our Multiprise/3000 doesn't have serial ports except in the IBM section of the OS/2 psuedo-simulated processor manager. Our MVS system USED to have an asynchronous dial-out port on an even older 3725/3705.
I am still interested in system automation tools to tie these disparate systems together. Our bosses have repeated rejected throwing out either the dinosaurs or the PCs. /Thomas Kern /(301)903-2211 -----Original Message----- From: John Summerfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 19:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Multiple System Automation Tools?

Communication is via TCP/IP, like everything else in the Unix world. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
