Scott, Couldn't get to TSO. All we had was the MVS console session thru the HMC.
We found the issue. We are using 2 port/chpid OSA cards and I had forgotten the PORTNUM=1 command in the VTAM TRLE so my attempts to talk TCP/IP were going to lala-land. Thanks.

A lot of routers have ping turned off. Secondly, Ping can be used via TSO, no problem , also Traceroute ..
