No RSCS, not VTAM. Sure we could FTP but processing the spooled print
output
in CMS REXX is so much simpler.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
There is no supported unit-record driver for Linux (Malcolm Beattie
wrote one long ago, but AFAIK it hasn't been updated for 2.6 kernels, so
really isn't much help any more).

And somebody asked why you might need a VM spool interface for Linux...
QED.
Actually, I questioned the need for Linux to access the CP *SPL system
services; I fully agree that Linux should come with a set or unit record
device drives (rdr, pun, prt), similar to the ones Malcolm developed
several years ago.... I do hope our friends in Boeblingen pick up on the
code he recently sent them and roll it into their patch stream for the
2.6 kernel.
Have a good one.
