RE: Zero interactive CPW

Thank you for this response.  IBM (go figure) says, "Good Lord!  You are
going to do WHAT?!?! (batch restores, green-screen text entry to WRKHTTPCFG,
etc)  You absolutely NEEEEED the interactive card."  Thanks again.

Just so happens I have a machine with this very configuration.  Admin stuff
(read : 1 sign on at a time ONLY) is no problem.  I do FTPs, DFUs, TELNET,
even some odd programming and all with no detriment.  The problem comes when
a second person tries to log in... they'll be able to but performance just
comes slamming to a halt!  Anything done in batch is no problem, I use ours
as a webserver.  Great machine, dizzyingly fast, especially when you might
be used to a 170 with only 73 CPW!
