Interesting idea. I'll have to try that next time I'm on a box with real hardware hipersockets. One thing you would lose in that configuration would be any packet filtering or firewall capabilities you might want between the rude Linux world and z/OS's sheltered existence. Still, it's an elegant idea, and worth experimenting with. I'll let you know if it works. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
