Subject: Definition of TG Characteristics on Link-Station Basis

After reading Jim Cobban's append indicating that most products do not
allow definition of TG characteristics, I polled several IBM APPN
products and found only one (3174) that does not have this capability.
Jim indicated that AS/400 has this capability; VTAM, CM/2, and 6611
also have this function.

Even if not considering the usefulness of this function for priority
networks or ATM, it is certainly valuable (both Jim and Dave Finnie
gave good examples of the value.)  I recommend that any products
without the function strongly consider an upgrade.
