Awesome! That was too easy. Now All I have to do is figure out what was 
displayed. The FM just identifies the message number as a response to a 
display. 

GSK01009I Cryptographic status 024    
Algorithm       Hardware    Software  
DES                 56          56    
3DES               168         168    
AES                 --         256    
RC2                 --         128    
RC4                 --         128    
RSA Encrypt       1024        4096    
RSA Sign          2048        4096    
DSS                 --        1024    

Since I don't see 'anonymous', can I safely say that that algorithm is -not- 
present? And bet my job on that? (I am only half kidding.)

..snip 
In addition to those manuals, you may want to crank up GSKSRVR
and issue F GSKSRVR,DISPLAY CRYPTO

This will show you what encryption and hashing algorithms are 
supported by System SSL in software and which, if any, are
supported by hardware (crypto engines and CPACF instructions).
You have to manually translate the algorithm names into cipher
suite numbers (which means you need to get the name associated
with each cipher suite number, but Google is your friend for that).

Armed with that information you can give you tell your servers to 
preferentially pick cipher suites supported by hardware.
