Hello List,
I am looking to connect the z900 to an external time source. I will
re-activate the 9037-2 Sysplex Timers, (once used when we had multiple
processors), to use modem dialup to ACTS in Boulder, CO.
The UNIX Group is getting Time off the Internet using NTP. They indicate I can
connect to their RISC/UNIX Server to get the time, instead of dialing out.
I have read, and re-read every item I could find in the Archives, but could
not positively assert it is possible to connect the 9037-2 to the RISC box.
Ken Clapp's CBT and Website option to make the Mainframe the primary time
source looks interesting, but for the short-time, synchronizing to Boulder or
the RISC is the target.
Has anybody on the List connected to RISC/UNIX for their ETS ? Any insight on
doing this ??
Thanks to all, for consideration,
Gabe
