If you are running multiple mainframes, communicating through the mainframe partitioning manager would not detect the other mainframes. Does IBM register mainframe TCP/IP port numbers, like it does for 3 digit message prefixes? You would be best off when you install your software, to assign a TCP/IP port pair in a configuration file, and the other addresses in the complex (or do test polling of the ports in the defined range of the LAN). -- Mike A Schwab, Springfield IL USA Where do Forest Rangers go to get away from it all? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
