The context of the original post clearly referenced VTAM and was obvious (just as all the USS references to z/OS Unix are obvious by the context of the posts that I have seen). Even if someone was confused, all the replies referenced 3270, VTAM and TCPIP. So why not give this a rest already. It's old. If you personally can't figure out which one somebody is talking about, feel free to post about that to get clarification or write the OP directly.
