Re: What's a "code fix" from IBM?

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a similar problem in V4R5, because the new twinax controllers
supported higher speeds, but not all of the devices did.   The result
was intermittent problems.  Terminals randomly dropping off line, etc.

The solution was to create a data area with flags that told OS/400 to
run the twinax controllers in "compatibility mode".

If you think this might help you, I could look to see if I can find the
details...
