the part with CISCO SNASw is exactly what we did when replacing the 3745s.
We moved the old X.21 SDLC links from 3745 to SNASw without any impact to

64Kb and they also work without any impact.

I assume the time out is network or client based. If so, the disconnect is not

Until the normal host time out, I don't know of any recourse other than a
