Are you referring to the session on the PC or on the 400? I find that CA
does not check for a live connection. This engenders many problems and some
odd behavior, from my experience. OTOH, if you execute NETSTAT on the 400
and take option 3, you'll see the connections there, including one (or
more) with your PC's IP address. I believe that these connections will
terminate according to the TELNET attributes. Unfortunately, CA does not
try to determine, as I said, whether these things are live.

Are you listening, IBM?
