How about lp5250d? Could it be hacked to automagically re-connect if the print session dies for some reason, or is that already available?

I just tried this by creating a little script that does this: #!/bin/tcsh xt5250 myas400 & xt5250 myas400 & xt5250 myas400 & xt5250 myas400 & Half of the time only three came up and the other half all four came up. I'm not sure what the problem is yet. > On this same subject, I saw an emulator once which: > if it could not connect shortly to the AS400, the program would stay > live and every time you hit Enter it would retry. Is there such an > option in tn5250? Thanks There isn't, but you could probably hack it to do so. You could probably change it to sleep() for some period of time if connect doesn't work and try again.
