Remote sessions hanging

[Jeff Volckaert <jvolckaert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everybody,

I'm using TN5250 0.15.6 to connect from home and have a problem with the session
hanging.  I also use it at work everyday and the sessions don't hang.  I have
the hospital connected to a cable modem via a Cisco PIX firewall with an
IP reserved for the AS/400.  My home Linux server is also connected to a cable
modem.

I ran TCPDUMP here at work and SSHed into home and ran TN5250.  If I type
WRKACTJOB it works fine.  I did ten of these and all were succesfull.  Then I
select menu item 2 from my main menu which runs WRKACTJOB and the session will
hang about two-thirds of the time.  Watching the tcpdump I can see a few packets
go from home to newton and back, but the screen doesn't change.  I can Cntl-Q
and restart TN5250 and repeat this test numerous times and once in a while
WRKACTJOB from the command line will hang and most of the time '2' off the menu
will hang.

If I repeat the test with telnet then nothing hangs.

Also, I'm having a small problem with TN5250 with the keymapping.  F5 seems to
generates 15~ instead of refreshing the screen in WRKSYSACT.  I think all the
F13-F24 keys are messed up.  I 'export TERM=5250', then 'loadkeys us5250.map',
then 'TN5250 -u work'.  SInce I almost always use XT5250 (which works fine) I
only notice the problem when I'm doing this from my home server.

Any suggestions?

TIA,
Jeff Volckaert
