IBM says "not a full router" because they don't want us to contemplate using it as a full router and unnecessarily route all traffic to an LPAR. Why use expensive equipment when cheap equipment can be used. Ask yourself if your home router is "not a full router" because it discards traffic that is not registered. If you were to define where to send unregistered traffic, does your home router become a full router? >Not sure if it was true but I had heard that the I/O cards for the zSystems >were > single board computers using either x86 or PowerPC based CPU's > and running some form of either OS2 (early on) or Linux (later on). Most routers today are Linux based. I wouldn't be surprised if OSA is running Linux but then again maybe it's running AIX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
