You may wait for a long time, you don't have to recieve one... you can 
post here once you have confirmed your subscription. Noboby has to 
validate it.

Yes, it works.
you just have to set the z3950daemon that is located in misc/z3950 
directory, under your KOHADIR.

Sample for BNF :
server => z3950.bnf.fr
port => 2211,
databaseName => ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1456,
user => Z3950,
password => Z3950_BNF,

if you have a 2.2.0RC3, pls update, as there is a (stupid) bug in this 
release, that is the origin of this problem.

strange, it should not. Maybe a bug.
