Mike,

One possibility might be to turn them all off and see who howls. ( :-)
).  Remember to leave on telnet if you use client access green screen
clients.

Places to look would include the V4R5 TCP/IP Configuration and Reference
manual.  This would have a mention of each server for that release.
Available through the online library at:

Also the InfoCenter would have information, although not as well
organized.  Follow through networking and then TCP/IP and select the
various sections.

If you're concerned about those servers which are configured to
autostart and you're not sure whether you're using them.  It might be
good to just scan on the server names to get an idea of functionality.
In most cases, if you're using SMTP (receiving internet email) or LPD
(line printer daemon), you'll know.
