I've tried it as TCPMAINT and as MAINT (linking to > TCPMAINT's 592 disk). ifconfig gbe200 up -mdiskpw password You have to provide the password for your A-disk. Alternately, NETSTAT DEV to get the device name associated with link GBE200 and "NETSTAT OBEY START <device name>". If Miguel *really* cared about us, he'd fix ifconfig to use NETSTAT OBEY instead of OBEYFILE. ;-) Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott Dave Keeton Systems Programmer Enterprise Systems Oregon State Data Center (503) 373-0832 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
