This is interesting...... Here is what I have observed. 1. Connect via the local LAN, no drop offs. 2. Connect via my DSL>Linksys>PPTP VPN, dropped session due to inactivity ONLY, no matter what TN5250 client I use. 3. Dial up to the internet and telnet to my 400s either directly using TN5250 or via a VPN and a 5250 client and never get dropped off. Seems like the DSL/Linksys is the culprit on my side. I did however just get a VERY interesting phone call from someone at IBM concerning this issue. Evidently, my post was forwarded to someone in Rochester who call ME to ask if I'd be interesting in working w/IBM Support line (for free) to get this issue resolved. WOW, the new PROACTIVE IBM. :) Anyway, I actually was very impressed to get the call, but do not think I am a good candidate to work with IBM since my problem SEEMS to be related to my DSL/Linksys set up. Is anyone out there interested in working with IBM (again for free) to get this issue resolved? I have the name and number of someone at IBM who is interested in taking ownership of this. I'd rather not post her name/number on the list server, but she was very happy for me to make this post and pass her name/number along. Please contact me privately. Regards, cjg Carl J.

We are having a site with this problem today actually - what timing. Anyway, there are no other sites I'm seeing with this (out of about 25 remote locations!) This site is the only one that is on a cable modem setup using VPN. All other sites have a T-1 or faster link back to our headquarters while the cable modem is on a separate network (thus needing the VPN tunnel). Our network guy is saying that the tunnel has been up for 16 days and he's not seeing anything here. However, if this is the only workgroup with these symptoms, how can it be the AS/400. We have about 800 users and only the five at this location are losing their session. Any clues? PS, John Taylor, could you send me any of your notes to the email below?
