Hello Doug, I am still thinking about a way to handle this. I have not managed to find any API or other method which would reliably provide this information. Netsoft is TELNETing to the AS/400 therefore ENDCNN(*YES) is behaving properly. A couple of things I have thought of: 1) Run TCP from the workstation to the AS/400 but run SNA between the AS/400 and use DSPT. 2). Check the *DEVD for the workstation and check the value for DROP (?) since LANs are effectively switched connections. (SIGNOFF has DROP(*DEVD) as the default action.)
