Thanks, this means a big change to our plans ;-) Do you know if there are any public docs (or source code) that we could look at to understand how the negotiation works?

You could use ip forwarding, and have Linux route on layer 3. This should work, as long as you use the OSA in layer 2 mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
