    What revision of VTAM is required in order for it to support
    2.1 Node (XID-3) attachment on the channel?  Is this
    available with V3R2 or must one upgrade?   (I have seen
    claims that even with V3R2 channel attached LU 6.2's must
    still be dependent...i.e. the node is a 2.0...)

I know this is available in VM/VTAM V3R3; the corresponding VSE release
may be V4R1, I can't remember now.  I don't believe you can get direct
VTAM attachment to type 2.1 without V3R3, but you should ask your
marketing rep for the official word.
