Excuse me, but IMHO OSA-ICC is just way to get rid off old equipment
like 3174L. It is NOT replacement, it is only for local (called non-SNA)
terminals, printers and ...CONSOLES. Consoles are the most important. Of
course 3172, 3274, and other controllers were not the goal.
IBM went looong way from 3174s to to ICC. There were 2074 (quite
expensive), VTAM consoles (not very usable for IPL), older SYSCON
(Operating System Messages on HMC) and the latest 3270-like SYSG aka
PCOMM-like icon in HMC. SYSG is AFAIK z/VM nomenclature.
BTW, Note, nomenclaure for "HMC-like" consoles:
1. Operating System Messages
z/VM: SYSC
z/OS: SYSCON
2. HMC Integrated 3270 console (is it proper name?)
z/VM: SYSG
z/OS: HMCS
I don't know about other OSes.

Christian,
I was dismayed too when I first discovered this limitation. The OSA-C
was originally intended to eliminate the local 3174 requirement. It
was not really designed to replace the 3172-003, which is what many
are using it for today.
And, you also need to look back at the OSA-C's roots which was the
3274 emulation in the P370, P390 and the MP3000.

Thanks for the input folks.
Brian: I have it working just fine, the setup was easy as you said - the
reason I started this thread was because I couldn't understand why the
limitations on the TCP port number and the philosophy behind the
routing.
It seems pretty weird to me that IBM implemented ICC this way, but hey -
I'm just a stranger on the internet :-)

You can set up some of the ports to be local VTAM terminals, then
you can
use VISTA (or any 3270 emulator) to connect into the ICC port 3270,
and use
the LUNAME of the 3270 you defined as a local 3270 terminal. Since
you can
have over 100 terminals per port, making them all os consoles is a
waste,
so having a bunch of them as local 3270's that you can give to your
carious
LPARs (and use EE to connect to the LPARs they are not connected
to), is a
great way to use them.
I like to make the first 16 to 32 devices OS consoles and the rest
of them
local 3270s.
So you are using TCP to get to them inside the ICC, but they are
technically local 3270 terminals. I think you can make some of them
printers if you want, but that seems like a waste.
