Understood. I mentioned IPGATE only as a way to prove the idea in case if Richard is still in the planning stage only and doesn't have his own application ready for testing yet. As he said that he has the control of the EXEC that creates the sockets, I presume that he would know how those sockets are opened. IPGATE does open an IUCV connection for each local resource, but those connections count towards IPGATE server machine's MAXCONN number, not the TCPIP machine's MAXCONN, which is what Richard is concerned about. IPGATE does only one socket initialize, and then uses one additional socket for each active <remote user/local resource> pair and one additional socket for every defined remote resource, if I understand it correctly. I just thought that this could be used as a test case. Ivica
