Alan:
Until I came to this job, I was a VM sysprog for over 20 years.
Here, I work mostly with VSE clients. But I could not find anything in the
TCPIP Planning & Customization manual that verified his statements that it
was a very difficult process, and he prefers not to have to do it. In truth,
there is very little that need be done, since the ONLY function needed will
be TELNET. And I know the changes that need to be made in the various
configuration (and directory) files. I just don't view it as a DIFFICULT
task. I thought maybe I was missing something important, hence my post.
Thanks, again, for your confirmation (in response to my sneakiness).
:)

Uh, wait a sec. I didn't intend to contradict The Sysprog, whose Word is
Law. (Verrrrry sneaky of you, m'boy!) ;-)
Configuring the servers is easy, but you have to create them in the first
place. That means several userids, new minidisks, some authorization
stuff, copy the minidisks, and so on.
A second stack isn't *hard*, but it *is* time consuming.
