OK, but don't forget you'll need to update the ACI modules in CP, too.

That requires 2-way SENDs (SEND REPLY=YES) something I don't think AF_IUCV
does.

APPC has a whole set of primitives not available in IUCV.  Further, IUCV
is a full duplex service, APPC is half duplex.  Oh, and the lack of a
documented interface might cause you some heartburn.  :-)

Also depends on 2-way SENDs.
