All of the information you need to set up XNET and the CTC device(s) (both in VM/370 and in Hercules) are in the documentation, including examples.
Bob,

I've set up two VM/370 CE 1.1.2 systems in qemu KVMs on a Linux system. I have configured Hercules to make use of two CTCE channels (500 and 600) and using 500 to connect the two systems together. I added the lport/rport to the firewalls for each of the KVMs to allow traffic through. I have setcap for Hercules on both systems. I used x3270 to connect from the Linux host to the KVMs.
I am using the default DMKRIO rchannel/rdevice/... configurations for both VM systems. I have two additional systems for future adds, and an indication that there is no connection.

They 'see' each other, but DIAL fails to connect. Some information is below. What else would you need from me to offer suggestions (apart from 'go fly a kite!) ;-)
