Like you we are just using a execl worksheet to keep track of the Linux host name. We did make it a standard that the host name and VM guest name are the same. We keep track of the IP address as part of the execl worksheet. Paul Feller AIT Mainframe Technical Support [EMAIL PROTECTED] (319)

The keyword is "reliably". Noop. But if you find something that really works with it, I'm all ears. So far, the VTS seems to be a 390 thingie. No FCP support. Linux applications seem to like scsi tape drives (FCP) not FICON/ESCON. Then there is the point of control. That is being able to send
