Carlos, We had the same path/challenge in the past. As you are here (in SP-Brasil) I think we can talk over the phone about what were our solutions. I´m at your disposal and will be happy to exchange some experiences w/ you.

We have a bid to replace this machine by a new z9 and get some software advantages. Today we have no problems with CPU or memory bottlenecks. Ou problem is limited to substitute access from WAC cards, so we can keep BSC3 lines sending data to application program. Simple solution could be an IBM 3745 model 170 (smalest) to keep same cenario and migrate from adapter cards to a channel independent machine, even connect thru Escon converter. IBM says no more NCP software licenses are available. What we can use as a substitute for WAC cards now how to connect this solution to z9? Thanks in advance for any comment or hint Carlos Bodra
