> TCP/IP does it need singal support? It doesn't need to close anything, or am I wrong?
(I *hate* touchpads -- can't figure out how to turn the bloody thing off permanently. It hit send too soon.) Unless something has changed in 5.2, the TCPIP stack applications that consume stack services all have a way to do clean shutdowns, but the stack itself does not. This has been a lingering remnant of the old FAL 1.0 IP stack code since the beginning - it's probably not critical, but it is annoying that the only way to shut down the stack is CP FORCE or sending it an external interrupt via SCIF, essentially crashing it -- which has occasionally left some network interfaces in unpleasant pending I/O states (especially some of the older interfaces that used continuous channel programs for efficiency). I mean, really, *VTAM* has clean shutdown capabilities. Gotta keep up with the neighbors, ya know. 8-) -- db
