As a migration path, the idea of linking the two systems together via VM/ISF over CTC is being considered. Is anyone using VM/ISF between multiple systems, and do you have any comments on the usability? Can VM/ISF be used over multiple CTC links between two machines? It seems to me that running everything over a single 3044 CTC could be a bottle- neck. Besides sharing a common directory and spool, are other CU's available to both sides, such as tapes?
