I'm sure VTS does compress data even though I think it's a hardware feature
and at application level (zOS channel program I mean) there's no difference
in terms of EXCP. In the worst case we could expect a bigger connect time
anyway VTS is faster than SMS compressed DASD despite of the number of
EXCPs.
