Absolutely agreed! My point was that all this convenience *might not* be worth it if the end result -- running Linux guests -- doesn\'t work effectively, and looking at an alternative *might* be required in order to get a functional system. Anyway, I\'m glad you worked around the issue by using HiperSockets (darn, didn\'t think of that one ;) Just out of curiosity, are you using a HiperSockets Guest LAN or a real HiperSockets device? I would have thought that a real HiperSockets would have had similar problems to an OSA... Cheers, Vic Cross -- Vic Cross MACS mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Networking, Linux, on zSeries and S/390
