RE: Telnet sessions disconnecting -- Any Solution yet?

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

More interesting info......
I connected to my AS400 with 2 5250 emulation sessions..... Once with
the internet name of the AS400 (machine.domain.com) another with the IP
address of the machine 216.176.xxx.xxx.  I went and played an hour of
tennis with my son.  When I returned, the session connected with the
NAME had disconnected, the session with the IP address remains
connected.  Any ideas???

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.
