TCP/IP Disconnected Sessions With Rumba

[MaryLou Atwell <matwell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Our district used Rumba for quite some time after IBM dropped it from the 
Client Access line some time ago.  It did provide alot easier set up for 
the printer emulations.  I did find though that there was difficulty on a 
user reconnecting if for whatever reason the session ended.  Be it a pc 
lock up or some sort of disconnect.    The only way I was ever able to fix 
it was to have the user call me, then I would go thru "wrkcfgsts *dev  Find 
that pc description, and vary it off, and then vary it back on.    After 
calls to WallData, it was never fixed, and I was quite unhappy with that 
aspect of the product.   Yes, there are parts that are great, however, in a 
WAN of 400 pc's, and they might all disconnect at the same time, 
well....   I have switched back to Client Access for that among other 
reasons.      I'm not totally thrilled with Client Access but,  at least 
I'm supported with it in some ways.   I just was never given a reason or a 
way to fix it...
