I apologize in advance for pointing to a commercial solution here... And for due diligence - I am the CEO of CSL International, owner of this solution.
It's just sounded like the guy is in real need, I thought the list will accept a vendor response. CSL-WAVE, with its "CLC - Connection-Less Communication" does exactly this ! (I.e. allows for an edit of a Linux-Guest files when there is no TCPIP communication to the Linux Guest Under z/VM). I can answer more specific questions on the subject on via private mail if anybody is interested.

I've never used kermit, so I'm not understanding how that would work in the particular situation we're talking about: - Linux guest on z/VM - No working Linux network connection - So, only connection is via the z/VM TCP/IP stack - You want to pull a file from the Linux guest, edit it, and push it back What pieces would have to be where, and how would connections get made, etc.?
