We've now experienced the problem at two different remote locations. The
first was using IBM 8271 Ethernet switches, and the newest location is now
running Netgear FS524 switches. While troubleshooting the problem at the
first location, I changed the IBM switch to an Intel hub, and ended up with
the same result.

The DSL router is Cisco, and the other location is running ISDN, also using
Cisco equipment.

Then, in my mind, the problem is with the AS/400. It sounds like the server
is timing out to quickly, and we should be able to configure that behaviour.
Did IBM ever mention any system values that control that response?
