Wancho" I've reviewed the archives, looking for observations on the KNET software, and found mixed reactions, with some of the comments from several years ago quite negative. What's the current status? Has it been brought up-to-speed, or should we still look elsewhere (given that we were given the hardware)? I had client last year that was in the throes of bringing up KNET with both MVS and VM machines. As I understood it, Spartacus was rewriting code specifically for this client. I witnessed around 8 revisions in 3Q and 4Q of last year, but their stuff still didn't resolve to DNS servers. I worked in detail with the SMTP implementation, and I wasn't impressed - I'd look at the U. Wisconsin TCP/IP implementation.
