Failure to connect


Most of the time when I start 3 or 4 sessions
in .xinitrc, one of them will fail to connect and xt5250
and its xterm will die very quickly, maybe within 1 second.
Then I am usually able to start an xterm and manually
start the session.  Sometimes this happens with only
one session defined.

It acts like a timing issue.  Like if the AS400 is not quick enough
tn5250 gives up.  Is there a timeout parameter or someting?

On this same subject, I saw an emulator once which:
if it could not connect shortly to the AS400, the program would stay live
and every time you hit Enter it would retry.  Is there such an option
in tn5250?
Thanks
