Chuckie must have really been busy spreading doubt and confusion in the Support Center. They are having trouble verifying the we are entitled to support for that:
Operating System named TCP/IP Product named TCP/IP Communication Server named TCP/IP Etc., etc. etc. I have told them over and over that the Operating System is z/VM 5.2.0 and that TCP/IP is a component of it, not a separate O/S or product. I have even given them a previous PMR to help in their task. I have been on hold for 15 minutes while they are trying to determine if I am entitled to open a PMR. AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH (or whatever other 4-letter word may come to mind).
