  OS/390
       
           An {IBM} {mainframe} {operating system},
          featuring integrated {MVS}, {UNIX}, {LAN}, {distributed
          computing} and {application enablement services} through its
          base elements.  These base services enable open, distributed


          processing and offer a foundation for object-ready application
          development.  The OS/390 base includes a {Communication
          Server} that includes {VTAM}, the {VTAM AnyNet} feature,
          {TCP/IP} and {TIOC}.  It provides {SNA} ({3270}), {APPC},
          {High Performance Routing}, {ATM} support, {sockets} and
          {RPC}.
       
          OS/390 is basically rebranded, repackaged {MVS/OE}, {CMOS}
          processors, {RAMAC} disk arrays and {open systems} extension
          to networking in {VTAM}, the principle being that if you can't
          compete, rebrand what you have and tell everyone it's
          something new.
