RE: TCP/IP start automatically on IPL

["Bob Crothers" <Bob2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

While this might be true on V5 and even V4 systems, V3 did NOT start
TCPIP automatically.

The following needs to be added to the system start program:

STRTCP
DLYJOB DLY(60)
STRHOSTSVR *ALL

The delay job is important as much of the starting of tcpip happens
asynchronously.  This makes sure things have actually started.  And of
course, the STRHOSTSVR is needed for PC Support & Client Access stuff.

Bob
