Re: TCPIP 5250 session hangs -- MIDRANGE-L

I can't recall the PTF #'s, but they would be of no use as they weren't
for V3R7.
It was several months ago on V3R1 & V3R2, so the fixes should certainly
be in the latest cum packages for V3R2 & V3R7 by now.

Try these settings:
TELNET attributes.  INACTTIMO(0) and TIMMRKTIMO(600).
On T/R or Ethernet line on AS/400 also set MAXFRAME to 1480 for SSAP
'AA'.
