I think that most existing z/800 and z/890 processor
complexes probably already have been delivered with an IFL, and not to use
it by running a z/Linux LPAR is really a waste. I also agree that if you
have to pay for one now, that a Zaap is a pretty good deal and can

Surely the 'MAX' parameter here is a function of the TCPIP code that

I get this problem when issuing commands from SDSF, TSO CONSOLE, the
