Remote access to BPCS system

Rick,

        Try looking at the AS/400's TELNET attributes.  Specifically the 
timeout value.  You can use the command:

                CFGTCP and press Enter.  This will display the Configure Menu.
                Use option number 20 to configure TCP Applications
                Use option number 11 to configure TELNET
                Use option number 1 to Change TELNET Attributes

                Check the inactivity timeout value.

        Hope this helps.

AS400  Mixmode version 6.02

I have a remote site with about 2-4 users who has been given  temporary
access to our AS400 BPCS system via the Internet.
They use their ISP to establish a web connection then link to our AS400
with a Telnet session.

After 2 minutes of inactivity they are dropping off the AS400 session.  Is
there some value in the Telnet session that has an inactivity parameter
that needs increasing.  This only happens to this one location but they are
the only one connecting via the Internet.  Other remote locations who have
a frame relay, or T1 connection isn't experiencing any problems so I don't
think this is a result of an AS400 system value but something unique to the
Telnet session.

Any suggestions
