I think that was it.  I heard about it when I worked at Compuware in the 
early 90's.  The presentation took me back to those days, not so long 
ago, when it was expensive to put TCP/IP on OS/390, so much so that 
Compuware developed "HCI", which was a TCP/IP stack for the platform 
(not sure if they sold it, bundled it with apps, or it was just Andy 
Falvey's pet project.  I remember he borrowed my Comer books so he could 
implement TCP/IP...
