[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] TCP/IP software on VM

yuko@dbaccess.com (Yuko Tanaka) (05/17/91)

   Does anybody know TCP/IP software which runs on VM (CMS or GCS) and 
has socket interface to application?   SAS C interface is the best for
us.  
   
   IBM TCP/IP for VM (R1.2) does not have socket interface and also 
requires IBM C for System/370 (we are calling White Smith C) which we don't
want to use.

TCP/IP Version 2 supports a normal socket interface. I think you need to use
IBM C. I'm not an expert on this but I believe you can link this to SAS/C

Well, normal. I does  have connect(), but it doesnt have accept(), at least
last time I checked (I checked thoroughly, because I wrote a tape server
for VM).

Seems like they implemented the bare minimum so they could link Xlib.

Well, you haven't checked recently, since our TCP/IP Version 2 for VM (and
MVS) both have fairly complete socket implementations, including accept().
VM V2 has been out since last November, MVS V2 was available this March.

IBM TCP/IP v2 for VM does include a socket interface for IBM C/370.
I suspect it would either work w/ other Cs or could be made to do so
without too much hassle (though I've not done so). I have used the
interface w/ C/370 and can state that it works.

	Is anyone has any network printing solution for IBM TCP/IP with MVS over
Ethernet?    I am tring to find a solution for MVS/CICS printing over the campus
network.  Currently, all the CICS printers have to attach to the IBM7171 box. All
the MVS/CICS users are using the TN3270 on a PC with ethernet interface to communicate
with the Mainframe.  However, we would like to bring the CICS printer closer to them.
Maybe through lpr/lpd if there is a way on the IBM TCP/IP for MVS.  I would like
to know all your suggestions.

Thanks,

Have I read right ?
Is there a TCP/IP version 2 for VM ?
(IBM has just offered us a TCP/IP V1.2 for VM).

staying in doubt...

Version 2 of the IBM TCP/IP code for VM and MVS include lpr/lpd support.

That's incorrect.  Only the VM version has it.  It's only a "future
direction" for the MVS version.

Interlink's SNS/TCPaccess for MVS has an LPD server.

Sorry, Nick, you're only half correct.  VM V2 does have LPR/LPD, but for MVS
V2, all we announced was a 'Statement of Direction'.  That is IBMese for "we
don't have it (LPR/LPD) now, but we're going to in the future".

IBM's TCP/IP V1 for VM (product number 5798-FAL) was withdrawn from
marketing in the US on 12/28/90, as announced on 6/19/90.  Outside of the
US, it may have been a bit later, but I'd be very surprised if V1 was still
orderable.  The replacement product number is 5735-FAL.

Perhaps your IBMers just have their terminology wrong?  Even people here in
development mistakenly still call it Release 2 instead of Version 2.
