TCP/IP Disconnected Sessions with Rumba -- MIDRANGE-L

David,

I'm postive the sessions were set up for straight 
TCP/IP  connections.  However, and there always is a however, or a but - 
Some could have been set up for TCP via Anynet.   And the version, I'll 
have to double check on tomorrow when I get in to the office.   I know we 
renewed it for the 2nd time this summer, (of course, they haven't asked for 
payment yet).    For alot of items, the Rumba product was good.   Less of a 
install hassle, what with all the reboots of the Client Access one.   And 
with the problem pc's I believe it's still the better way to do a fast 
connect.   I have been having difficulty though with  new pc's with Win98 
on them.   I guess there's not going to be a fix for that.     I tried 
different Sysvals for disconnected jobs and ended up creating havoc with 
people who would do a temporary signoff at lunch..   But this was fixed 
this past week.   I'll let you know the version tomorrow

Thanks MaryLou,
I cant help feeling that the Walldata product is flakey in that area.
I have to hardcode in the HLLAPI error handling for disconnected sessions.
My question to you is what version of Rumba ie 95/NT and were they
configured fot TCP/IP.
cheers Dave
