 2. 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 VM58620 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.
 
 1. 2011/12/02 APAR VMxxxxx, through its associated PTF, UM97620, is
               used as the ordering mechanism for the current level of
               the TCP/IP Function Level 620 RSU.  This APAR/PTF will
               be updated during each RSU cycle to indicate the RSU
               level that currently is available through ISMD service.
               The RSU can be ordered upon request by contacting the
               IBM Level 2 support group, or through the SRD (Service
               Request & Delivery) function of IBMLink.  Please see
               the text of APAR VMxxxxx for more information, if
               necessary.
 
               Note: TCP/IP RSU maintenance is provided as part
                     of the z/VM 6.2.0 RSU.
