I think I have initiated the contact with the right person, but, out of curiosity, I would really like to know more about the RSCS that do we actually have in VM370 CE... because, well... there's something here to play with :-)
I've digged and researched in those old VM370 IBM books, and, toghether with RSCS MEMO, I managed to rebuild the RSCS Nucleus on a pair on hercules instances and make them 'connect' usin a 2703 BSC link... however, altough most of what I've read about RSCS seem to somehow apply here, I see a few but quite noticeable differences... For instance, I've tested a START command with params read from 20 years old forum post, that I don't find anywhere on the books! or, likewise, I don't find any trace of an RSCS Directory file under CE RSCS VMs... so I've the feeling I'm missing something.
While I realize NJE represent a huge leap for a 'free' RSCS, I'd be very happy if I could assemble a testing mockup/lab? made of VM instances linked by 'legacy' means (BSC lines, etc) ... but I would like to know why do RSCS in VM CE appears to be somehow different? Why no directory? Where does PARAM HASP | MASTER modes come from? Does routing work?
