Unless there is a bug in your version, ECHO=NO is respected. It means "don't
echo the command itself", *not* "don't give me any output". For that you would
use "REPLY-TO=None", which as you point out I forgot to support. The reason is
that every time I forward a job to other servers, I have to rewrite a routine
to generate the job parms because REXX does not allow you to call an external
routine and let it access your variables. And of course, sometimes I forget
something in the routine, or I make a mistake, etc. I'll have to do something
about it, after all I can use GLOBALV, it's just that it's going to be much
slower. Oh well.

That was never questioned, the problem is CPU time on sites which are not
commited to provide service to the network, rather than network load.
