Dial and message commands are class any which mean that you cannot disable
them.  I understand your concern about students abusing others with message.
We removed the references to MSG in the LOGO module DMKBOX and on the
line mode prompt in DMKMES (HPO 5).  This means that message still works
before logon, but nobody knows that and so we do not have a problem with it.

As far as I know, the only place users can dial on our system is our two
test systems (not too sure about VTAM - not my responsibility).  For the
test systems, a person would need to know what address to specify to get
an enabled terminal and at that point would be presented with a second
logo screen and would still need a valid userid and password.  So we don't
worry about the dial command either.
