John, For the most part I agree with you, except in the first line of his actual post, the original poster made it quite obvious to anybody which of the two USS's he was referring to, which makes this current argument all the more stupid. I think this whole thing is painfully silly, as Mr. Mason will never give up on his crusade to stop anybody from using USS to refer to Unix stuff, and a few others seem to take delight in needling him on, and the vast majority of us would prefer the whole thing just dry up. No amount of cajoling will get either side to change their respective minds, but unfortunately apparently no amount of begging them to "just give it up" will make that happen either.
And it's too bad, because I have been the recipient on a couple occasions of some of Mr. Mason's wisdom in regards to a VTAM issue that I was having. Unfortunately the gems get lost in the bickering. Like you, this will be my last (and in my case my first) post on the subject.

I'm simply to old and tired to bother any more. In this particular thread, I will agree that USS could be confusing since "telnet" could refer to either accessing a z/OS UNIX shell prompt via "historic" telnet, or to accessing an LU2 VTAM application via TN3270E which is also a special encoded 3270 data stream using the telnet protocol. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
