1. What are the benefits of using Linux for these "gateways" instead of just
using z/VM TCPIP itself?
2. How much memory resource will these Linux "gateways" require and
should we use "stripped-down kernel" Linux images or just inactivate
unnecessary
services on these images (and use the SuSE 'network' install for
example).
3. What linux routing software should we use on these "gateways"
for dynamic routing??
