Is the hardware associated with STP physically disabled until the customer pays for the feature? If not, is the hardware sufficiently described in the PoOp (PrOp) that such an interface to NTP could be developed by an ISV, or even privately and contributed to cbttape? (No, I'm not volunteering.) What does Linux for z use for clock steering? I understand it was never ETR-savvy (nor was z/VM?) I imagine it might be done by letting the ETOD clock run free and allowing NTP to update parameters of a software offset used by all system time services (kinda like CVTLSO). -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
