Can you point me at the Hercules changes? I'll include them in Aethra, if allowed.

I have had extensive discussions with the author of the enhancements.
It is a significant enhancement for RSCS and its attachment
capabilities.? It provides NJE node support in VM/370.? There are
Hercules enhancements that support the TCP/IP connection used by NJE.
The enhancements allow VM/370 to talk to VM/370 and S/370 MVS or modern
operating systems using NJE.? Transferring of files, in particular is
supported.
As far as I know, the Hercules changes are available.? Whether they are
part of the distribution, I do not know.
The vintage documentation will not describe how to configure RSCS for
this usage.? The author I am confident can point someone to the
documentation that would help in use of the enhancements.? This assumes
the author is willing to share the VM related software with the user.
My interest was in developing a Python based NJE-node as an add on to
SATK.? That would dramatically ease the movement of files between
VM/370, MVS 3.8 and modern systems.? All of the NJE-node supporting
products for Windows or Linux and the like are proprietary.? I was
looking at an Open Source implementation.? Very big job, and with the
author's reluctance to share his work, that sort of killed my momentum
for pursuing the idea.
