Hi Leif,

This is a really great find.  While it didn't fix my problem, I have been 
reading the forums for hours looking for a solution and there are a 
number of other people that have been looking for a way to prevent the 
iSeries Access Emulator from disconnecting when used remotely.
Most people resort to Mochasoft because they have a KeepAlive option 
that's easy to select.  I haven't seen anyone else that has found the 
KeepAlive option in Client Access or iSeries Access.

See the above link for the complete article.
To sum it up:
In the .WS file that is usually in 
C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\Emulator\Private
There should be a section called: [Telnet5250]
Just add the line KeepAlive=Y and you'll be good to go.

[Profile]
ID=WS
Version=5
[Telnet5250]
KeepAlive=Y
HostName=192.168.100.55
Security=Y
[Communication]
Link=telnet5250
. . . . (etc.)

While I don't usually have a disconnect problem I did see a lot of people 
looking for a solution.

Since even after I added the KeepAlive=Y and I am still disconnecting 
every 10 min. I am thinking the v5r1 Client Access is corrupted and I'll 
uninstall it.  I am going to try iSeries Access v5r3 and see if it will work 
with OS/400 v4r4.  I haven't seen anyone else report that it will or won't 
work.  

Thank you,

Gary Kuznitz
