I can't remember when exactly. But, you have been able to change EXCP to service rather than blocks for a long time. So, each 'EXCP' becomes 8.3 ms of connect time, under that option. I can't remember the exact option (or even release of the OS), but it's been around for a long time. In that case, 1, or 8, BUFNO makes a difference. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
