I can't imagine running without FICON directors--or ESCON directors before them--but your configuration may not require them if they're used *only* for CTC. Before even touching hardware, I suggest that you cook up an IODF with no directors and ACTIVATE it. If things fall apart, you can put the old IODF back with minimal hassle.

I'd like to turn that AFAIK to a definite yes! I'm now told all XCF traffic is on CF's. Thanks for the other info. They already use EE, and I've suggested that for cross-domain traffic, but they want to stay away from the corporate network, so I think PTP CTC may be my only option, if it can be done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
