We have far too many users (thousands) for TANDEM to be a graceful solution; unfortunately.
We are looking at solving this on the UV level by keeping track of where a user was and writing out regularly to various records as they progress in their session, and presenting the user with a screen at next login allowing (s)he to resume where they left off if a disconnect occurs. If necessary, I will look at a solution involving screen but I am confident our senior software engineer can solve it at the UV level after discussing it with him. =) Thanks all for your help. By the way, TANDEM on UV 10.2 Windows does not capture the controlling user's "Enter" key. Has anyone else experienced this problem or found a workaround?
