I think it's always a good idea to have a Linux terminal server
available for just such instances when you *can't* reach the z/Linux
guest via the network.
There is a short writeup of how to build a terminal server here:
http://www.vmworkshop.org/docs/2014/24dH6VdP.pdf
Have a good one.

There's just mainly one sed command that i've needed in order to fix enough to
get the network up.
sed -i -e 's/oldstring/newstring/' filename
That's generally been enough to get me through say bad IP addresses or gateway
settings.

Hi everyone,
I've searched everywhere and I cannot find for editing Linux files
while logged in with 3270. Vi will just get me stuck. I looked at
'ed', but I get stuck as well... any recommendations??
The ed command works fine, but you need to understand how to use it. It's ...
different.
I frequently use sed, but if you're at the point where the root file system is
mounted, you should be able to use the terminal server access. This allows you
to SSH to the terminal server, then connect to the target system and use the
normal vi/vim editors.
