Finally a response I can do something with. Thanks. I forwarded your
suggestion to my friend. Nice to have folks whose interest is in solving
problems around. I owe you one.

 When I asked what kind of machine your user had,
 I meant the PC they are using.
 What I was curious about was the size of the system
 and the load.
 That's why the question about data transfers and
 consistency of the problem, ie. what else are they
 running when it happens ?
 
 I've seen pentium 60s running 95 that were running
 PointCast, Exchange, Word, a helpdesk app, IE3.0,
 and three or four other apps.
 They could safely run one CA/400 session over IP.
 But, on the second or third or fourth, they'd blue-screen.
 We increased the memory from 16 to 24 or 32 megs
 and they were okay for awhile. Up until they ran out of
 disk space and their swap file went away.
 When 95 runs out of resources sometimes it will tell
 you and other times it's not so polite.
 
 With my own NT Workstation I've had CA fail to
 establish a 5250 Display Emulation if I already
 have a dozen or so apps open. Graphical Access
 would work, but 5250 just sits there. However if I get at
 least one session going, I can then open my dozen apps
 and as may 5250 sessions as I want.
 
 I'd suggest playing with it.
 Have your user close everything except CA. No data
 transfers, email, etc.
 Do they always crash on the fourth session?
 If not, have them close down, restart one session,
 then load it up with all their other apps. Do they
 ever crash starting the second or third session ?
 If they don't already have 32 meg or more of memory,
 try upping it to 32 and see if the problem goes away.
 
 HTH,
 Let us know how it goes,
