 3. 2009/10/23 Several TCP/IP for z/VM functions are Pascal-based, and
               use VMCF communications to communicate with the TCPIP
               server.  Therefore, these functions cannot be reliably
               used in conjunction with other applications that also use
               VMCF communications (such as the CMS Utility, WAKEUP);
               doing so may produce intermittent hangs during processing
               or other unpredictable results.
 
               The TCP/IP Pascal-base functions for which such problems
               may arise are:
 
                 FTP       HOMETEST  LPQ     LPR       LPRM      NETSTAT
                 OBEYFILE  REXEC     TELNET  TESTSITE  TFTP
 
               See CMS Utilities APAR VM58610 for more information about
               problems when using FTP in conjunction with WAKEUP.
 
               See TCP/IP for z/VM APAR PQ87840 for more information
               about problems when using REXEC in conjunction with
               WAKEUP.
 
 2. 2009/10/23 APAR VM64697, through its associated PTF, UM97610, is
               used as the ordering mechanism for the current level of
               the TCP/IP Function Level 610 RSU.  This APAR/PTF will
               be updated during every RSU cycle to indicate the RSU
               level that is currently available through ISMD service.
               The RSU can be ordered upon request by contacting the
               Level 2 support group, or through the SRD (Service
               Request & Delivery) function of IBMLink.  Please see
               the text of APAR VM64494 for more information, if
               necessary.
 
               Note: TCP/IP RSU maintenance is provided only as part
                     of the z/VM 6.1.0 "stacked" RSU.
 
 1. 2009/10/23 When appropriate, the support center will open
               informational APARs covering various aspects of TCP/IP
               for z/VM.  These APARs will cover installation and
               maintenance specific information, information on using the
               product, and other information that will often assist the
               customer.  Customers can search for these APARs by using
               The product component ID (5735FAL00) and the keyword
               TCPIPINFO.  It's recommended that customers using TCP/IP
               for z/VM review these APARs for information specific to
               their needs.
