Once a z/VM Linux guest is defined and the Linux operating system is installed and initial users such as a root user and admin user added to the system what would be the most common way of accessing the Linux guest?
Ssh over the network is the accepted method. Could you dial into the Linux guest? No. I've been working on PVM support and LAT support for consoles, but DIAL wasn't on my list. Is TCP/IP'ing to the guest the best way of accessing the guest either locally or remote. Yes. It's the only method that allows full function of the character-mode applications running on Linux.
