There may be problems here though.  It's my current understanding that
IBM's TCP/IP is not interacing w/ ZODINSUP properly.  If your net.cfg can
supply enough LSL buffers then it will work fine.  In my case net.cfg
tries to support both T/R and Enet via ODINSUP and I think I am running
out of buffers causing TCP/IP to hang after running OK for a short time.
I'm trying to resolve the problem w/ Novell and IBM currently.
