Re: (lp5250d) SNA Protocol Error?

Hi Kurt,

Unfortunately, I'm running V3R2 due to the fact that I'm on a CISC box,
and IBM doesn't like me.  :)  If there is a PTF for V3R2, I've probably
already got it on tape (I ordered everything I could find back in May
before they stopped making them for V3R2... though I havent gotten
around to installing them yet) but you didn't list one...

At any rate, I highly doubt that this is an AS/400 problem, since I'm
only having it with the lp5250d program thats distributed with this
tn5250 package, and not with RUMBA 2000 (also over TN5250e) or with 
a direct lpr request from the AS/400 to the UNIX box.

In other words, if its a problem with the TN5250 server on the AS/400,
why isn't it also happening with RUMBA 2000 using TN5250e? 

Thanks for the reply...
