From what I've read and heard, that has been largely marginalized and
replaced with generic Windows-hosted client stuff nowadays with fancy
'GUI' tools.
There are.
Where? Also, are you allowed to by IBM? Wouldn't you be required to
buy a license (and what-not else)? I mean, why else does IBM charge
a hefty sum for very restricted remote access to an IBM "z"...?
I run several instances of that, and I had once
thought of setting
up a system for people to use, but it's so easy to run that I didn't
see much point.
Maybe because you'd get IBM's lawyers after you, that's why you
haven't. The fact that you even say you run it at home probably
isn't too wise, especially if IBM read about it...
As far as I'm aware, it's not exactly 'allowed' to run (e.g.)
"z"
'at home', not even for non-commercial/private reasons and end-
uses/purposes.
