Can more than MVS be used? I think we should spin up some VM/370 instances will hercules run on VMS? I think the export software is MVS only. I've no idea if Hercules will run on VMS.. Hmmm. The SNA networking is handled (I believe) by the SNA layered product on VMS. Ahhhhh. Happen to have a copy? I actually do, on RHESUS::[.medialib.AXP.SPL.DISK3.SNADTFS033] (well I think this is the kit) There's also a SNA-3270 package in there, I think that lets you log in to the MVS system from VMS.. That would be interesting. ;) Happen to know how SNA figures out which physical system is which? I'm trying to figure out where we'd need the gateways to be. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project. Some googling sows a major issue: Hercules doesn't seem to implement SNA bits, so it'd need to eb encapsulated over IP and I don't think MVS can do that. ;) -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project. Hello! Sadly yes. It has been a sore point for a while now. In fact since the turn of the century. In fact everything that goes wrong to sour this idea of yours Sampsa is being blamed on six Yetis and four Cybermen all in the yard surrounding Dave's place.
