Hmmm.  Sounds like the OS/2 problem that I'm having that I never got an
answer to, although I connect (via TR through Novell 4.1) every time.  We
have other OS/2 users that do not experience this problem, but MY workstation
takes at least 10 minutes to display a signon screen on a 5250 session after
connecting to all nodes.

The advice that I received was to uninstall CM/2 and then re-install it.  As
this is not what my client is paying me for and their "tech support" people
really don't know OS/2, I haven't tried it.  You might want to try a
re-install, as well as make sure that you have all of the latest service
packs, PTF's, and PSP information at hand before trying it.  You might also
want to mention your emulator card, in case one of the (aaaarrrrrghhh,
V-V-VENDORS) might have an explanation...
