Re: 5250 telnet keepalive

Dave,

I did find that article by searching on the internet. However, it didn't

  If you're using IBM's Client Access for Telnet, there is something
  you can
  do. That emulator does have the capability to send "keepalive"
  packets,
  but the means of turning it on is yet another IBM SECRET!

  For that reason, I posted a "tech tip" on my user group's web site.

  The site is: http://www.lisug.org

  And the specific tech tip is:
