Jim you mean the P/390? I have a couple of those yes. First ones were

versions of z/OS; they were strictly 31-bit only.
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...
