Sorry for the delay in posting. I've written several, but not quite finished them.
Things seem to come in clusters. Lately, there have been a cluster of things keeping some of us hopping on the Modernization Team:
Here is a quick list, and I hope to finish some posts on them:
Data Migration from:
Sybase, Data Comm , DB2 on the Mainframe
Integration (always a good one) with the mainframe
Natural/Adabas Migration (seeing a lot of that right now)
My partner in book writing, Tom Laszewski recently had a piece published in Server Side. It's worth posting here.

He goes into possible integration points of the mainframe beyond just database gateways.
