 9:00 a.m. Linux on S/390: 
           The Beginnings of the Dream Machine
           Scott Courtney, Sine Nomine Associates
 
 
           Abstract
 
           Briefly surveys the history of the System/390 Linux
           port and IBM's involvement with Linux, from a skunk-
           works project to an IBM strategic platform.  For
           mainframe folks, it answers the question, "Why Linux?"
           For Linux folks, it answers the question, "Why a
           mainframe?".  Looking ahead, it examines how these
           two disparate cultures can come together to learn
           from one another and to build something totally new.

10:15 a.m. VM TCP/IP Routing - Part 1 
           Alan Altmark, IBM-VM
           Alan Altmark's Home Page 
 
 
           Abstract
 
           This presentation provides detailed information on
           TCP/IP routing and how to configure and use TCP/IP's
           static and dynamic routing functions.  The mysteries
           of coding the Gateway and BsdRoutingParms statements
           for VM TCP/IP are revealed.  While the syntax may be
           VM, the concepts apply to all operating systems,
           including VSE and Linux.

           Alan Altmark's Home Page 
 
 
           Abstract
 
           This session will discuss the various connectivity
           options available for Linux for S/390 and Linux
           for zSeries, including channel-to-channel, OSA or
           3172, and IUCV.  Learn how to create a guest LAN
           providing any-to-any connectivity between your
           Linux virtual machines and the rest of your network.

 3:15 p.m. Building a Linux Firewall with IPTABLES
           Scott Courtney, Sine Nomine Associates
 
 
           Abstract
 
           Starting with kernel 2.4, Linux has deprecated the
           IPCHAINS packet filtering in favor of a more versatile
           tool called IPTABLES. IPTABLES allows an inexpensive Linux
           computer to take the place of a much more expensive
           commercial firewall for many small- to medium-sized
           organizations. This session introduces the IPTABLES packet
           filter and provides practical examples of how to configure
           IPTABLES for basic packet filtering as well as transparent
           IP address masquerading. Brief discussion of migration issues
           from IPCHAINS to IPTABLES, if time permits.
