Thanks to Alan, David and Mark... Our "router" is now working... David was right, to try the simpler method, and all we needed "turned on" was IP forwarding. And Mark hit another nail on the head when he pointed out some flawed addressing and routing. The biggest thing was the routing on the MVS side of the hipersocket was setup wrong. So even when the VM/Linux side was working right, MVS never answered because of the bad routing there.
(And I apologize to all for some cut-n-paste in the original notes that muddied the water a bit.) Thanks again to all...
