Are you sure you really want telnet on your zLinux environment and not the encrypted and highly recommended SSH ? We have been working towards SSL for our 3270 traffic, but we are not doing this on zLinux where we do not intend to even open up the telnet port. Just looking for clarification, bec

You might not need a z/OS license for software running inside the penguin, but you would still need licenses for all your other z/OS software, and they would include the CP's that the penguin is running on. I know some z/OS software is charged by usage now, but is all of it? Not only would you ne
