SYSLOGD2 and TS7700/TS4500 incompatible Merged

We need to implement Remote Logging for our IBM TS4500 and TS7700 Tape equipment and we are told that the SYSLOGD2 (USS Daemon) only supports the UDP protocol and the IBM TS7700 only supports the TCP protocol.

We need the z/OS SYSLOGD2 service to support both UDP and TCP protocols.
