Eric, There are no Linux/390 distributions that include the CLAW driver in the installation starter files (yet), so that isn't an option.
Yes, you can hook two ESCON channels together to get a communication path going. It's a _little_ more involved that what you said, but not a lot. You need to make sure that the two ends of the connection are not both genned as CTC (one end has to be CNC?), routing will be something that needs attending to, etc. You won't be able to use the MVSNFS facility to NFS export the files, since that requires authentication stuff that won't be on the initrd. If you have an FTP server enabled, that should work.

I guess I will have to get a release of Linux that has the Claw driver already built in. How does a CTC connection work. Can I define 2 escon channels on my MP3000 as CTC type devices, and just plug an escon cable between them? I know there is a lot of configuring to be done after that, but if I can do that, at least I could get Linux on our network.
