Hooray! When did MVS get TCPNJE support? You can use HUJI-NJE to connect (albeit with limited stream support) to a TCPNJE implementation. This is fairly full-function in terms of NJE processing and being able to do things like route MVS output to email and stuff like that. There's a copy for download on the RSCS page -- you may need to do a little tinkering to get it running on 2.4 due to some changes in header files. Another possibility would be to use an IPP to LPD gateway to "simulate" job transfer. Last: push your IBM rep a little harder. There are certainly sites that have RSCS on IFLs with full function active. It just takes a little more work on their part to get the order processed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
