You might want to consider changing your timeout values in system values.
Look at QINACTITV, QINACTMSGQ and QDSCJOBITV.  I run an internet based
AS/400 time share service, so I get a lot of disconnects (especially via
AOL;).

I have QINACTITV at 60 minutes, QINACTMSGQ at *DSCJOB and QDSCJOBITV at 60
minutes.

The QINACTITV is needed because sometimes a router or firewall in the loop
someplace will keep the telnet connection alive even though the client fell
off hours ago (perhaps your scenario).  So, QINTER disconnects the job after
60 minutes of inactivity.  The user then has an hour to reconnect to the
same device name and pick up where they left off before the job is ENDed.

I also have a little CL program that runs at signon that checks for multiple
signons by the same user.  This handles the scenario where they lost their
connection and can't get their device name because it's still running.  If
there are more than two jobs running under the same user, the CL will
disconnect one of them and inform the user that they must have dropped their
connection.  Then can then sign off and sign back on to their regular device
description and pick up where they left off.

It's a pain in the neck but it pretty much works.

                Karl,

                FYI, I've never used a HOST file on any PC connected to an
AS/400 via
                Mochasoft, just IP address, and only have the problem
described below
                when a named session drops.

                Although it no longer shows in WRKACTJOB I can't get
connected with that
                named device until we IPL.  My workaround is that I have
several named
                devices to choose from.

                This also occurs with other telnet emulators.  It's not just
Mochasoft.
