I did the VPS -> JQP/VVP swap out around 2003. Have about 1500 printers defined in JQP/VVP.
I find the support really good with the JQP and VVP products. I tried NPF first, but the administration would have been really hard for my help desk people. The only reason I did the swap out in the first place was cost. First it was the cost for CPU upgrades, but I am also seeing savings in the yearly costs.

However, it was (is still?) hard to administer. So hard that the VTAM person (we actually still had SNA 3270 nodes via Visara controllers) decided that it was unacceptable. We went with MacKinney's JQP. It was easier to administer than NPF (but not as easy as VPS); reliable (we still use it); and relatively inexpensive. > > Bill > > -- I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
