I guess we could TFRCTL into QINTER, but I don't want to risk locking-up the
console.
our network is running both Ethernet and Token Ring, primarily Ethernet with
with very few TR machines.
The protocols we are running on the network are TCP/IP and NETBEUI.
We do have our network connected with routers to a WAN.

From the text I've read in the messages, and the cfg status's I've seen on
the dsp devices, I would concur that the sessions are dropping, but, is it
the 400 or the PC or the network that is causing the break? (or the
b*******y users re-booting their PC's without closing their sessions?)

It is my belief that the problem lies within the 400, even if the error
condition occurs externally, the 400 / QINTER should NOT go into a nose dive
every time a couple of PC sessions screw up - it should be resilient to such
minor faults; how long has the AS/400 been accepting sessions from PC's?
they should have it cracked by now.

Question: can you sign on at the console, and TFRJOB to Qinter?
If so, this looks like a network issue.  The messages you mention are error
recovery ones and appear when the connection to the 400 is broken.
Are you token ring or ethernet?  What protocols are you using (both on the
400 and non - 400)  Any routers/wan connections?

Regards,
Stuart
