Actually, the point I was trying to make about FICON is that all you need is a SINGLE FICON channel attached to a switch to make a CTC, and that channel can still be used for other traffic.

I don't know much about running "cross domain" or Enterprise Extender of the Hipersockets, but as it is just another TCPIP, if it's possible over wire, it's possible over "memory". And as has been pointed out, a short fiber out one FICON (or ESCON if older) and into another can support CTC between your LPARs and get you connections just like you had before with the CTCA. And, Chris, actually I meant, just fire up another QWS3270 (or whoever you use) session on the desktop and connect directly to the next LPAR. If we didn't already have a session manager (Netpass) here, I wouldn't spend a dime to acquire one. As it is, as long as it runs, we will keep it do to the disruption removing it from the existing user community would cause.
