We have 2 new z990 systems and both have the OSA-ICC feature. I have to disagree with Shimon in that they have worked very well for us. We have basically supported these 2 new machines remotely and the ICCs have worked great. We have configured several emulators to work with them. We have used Vista32, Attachmate and X3270 under Cygwin. All have worked well. Attachmate is the most difficult to configure and has caused us the most problems. This may be due to the many varied releases that can be found on varies PCs.
We have seen the problem where all of the ports go dead for some unknown reason and we have not been able to resolve this issue yet. We have been able to use CP DISABLE and ENABLE to get the devices working again. We do this be accessing the LPARs via TELNET and the VM TCP/IP stack. This is only a viable solution if you have some other way to access VM CP so you can issue the commands. ____________________________________ Rick Barlow Systems Engineering Consultant Nationwide Services Co., Technology Engineering and Operations Support, Mainframe, VM Support One Nationwide Plaza 3-25-02 Columbus OH 43215-2220 U.S.A Voice: (614) 249-5213 Fax: (614) 677-7681 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
