Yes indeed, but MVS isn't an OS where mere mortals get to install
software... So I'd most likely be stuck with only client support.
MVS is getting telnet-SSL support also - and I use that where I can

ok, I should've said to/from my laptop (and occaisionally other boxen)
The point remains that while telnet/ftp should be treated as deprecated

Besides, its really not worthwhile to use more than two times your physical
ram in swap (except in a select few situations). The performance of the system
becomes so abysmal you'd rather heat pins under your toenails while reciting
Windows95 source code and staring at porn flicks of Bob Dole than actually try
to type something.
