RE: TELNET Disconnections only with some emulators

["Lemen, George (Contractor)" <george.lemen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David --
I've seen symptoms like this when the PC application times out (or something
else causes the frames not to make it back to the AS/400). In one case the
PC's IP stack had a bug and closed the "window" down on the PCs 5250
emulation application.
 I've also seen this if the TCP/IP group PTF is not on the AS/400.
 You indicated all was well until recently, and it sounds like a CUME was
installed. You may need to see if there are TCP/IP related fixes either in
the "HIPER" list on the PSP for your release or know by the support folks.
