"nerf". I probably have the spelling all wrong and "nerf" is probably one of the clever ways that people make words out of acronyms. Apparently it relates or somehow uses 3270 data streams.

I am trying to find out any information that is available on an IBM
product that I think is called "nerf". This is probably an acronym for
the real product. If anyone has any information, it would be very
helpful.
Thanks in advance for any information.

Hahn >Sequent Computer Systems, Inc. >{uunet|tektronix}!sequent!paulh The product that you are referring to is probably the Network Routing Facility aka "NRF". I believe it is currently at Release 3, but IBM just announced (on October 31st) that Release 5 will be available in December for MVS and January for VM. It runs on the Communications Controller with ACF/NCP and is responsible for things like extended subarea addressing, timeout management, ... The program product number is 5668-963 and the General Information manual for it is GC27-0594. Its initial license fee is ~$4500 and its monthly license fee is ~$1500. I am in no way affiliated with IBM -- I just watch them. -------------- Wayne Clark IBM Connectivity Operations, 3Com Corporation (formerly Communications Solutions, Inc.)
