[TCPIP V5.4] Session Disconnects (and DISCONNECT)

I seem to have problems with the use of (service) alias addresses (which
I do with IFCONFIG). When I delete the alias address(es) the sessions
(eg. DECnet over IP) don't get terminated.

1) Is there a chance that UCX at some time will do this right ?
eg. do you have an idea what parameters to try (besides how to do
keepalive for DECnet over IP)

2) I can do an DISCONNECT DEVICE_SOCKET for the remaining sessions, but
unfortunately TCPware has an /LOCAL and /REMOTE qualifier for KILL CONNECTIONS
but TCPIP has not not. Is there any chance that UCX will narrow this gap
(which exists now for a decade) in the very near future ? Otherwise I will
have to write a DCL script instead of using one simple TCPIP command...

3) Is there a chance that a lexical function (F$GETDVI comes to mind) will
(in the very near future) give me IP information (like the local IP address
and/or port number) on BG devices ? Otherwise I will have to parse output
files (written by CRTL).

Any hope ?
