The CTC is sufficient (PU 5). For connections beyond CTC range, then you can set up an APPN (vs. subarea) network that can use PU 2.1 to carry LU 6.2. APPN connections can be carried over an IP network via Enterprise Extender (EE), which is built into z/OS CS, but not into VM VTAM. To bridge the gap, you will need Communication Server for Linux on zSeries. DLSw can be used by an outboard controller to handle the SNA/IP transformations as well.
