Simple. We don't have many "remote" users as in VPN users. Our remote users are forced to logon to a Windows Terminal Service machine (I think that what it's called). They then use the TN3270 client on that server to get into the mainframe. Most of the VPN users are "Windows only" type people (email and the like). They don't have a TN3270 emulator on their personal machine. I use VPN, but on the rare occassion where I get dropped, I can logon to a z/OS console and cancel my TSO id. But your comments are good. I hadn't thought of them because we just don't have that type of environment here. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
