I have another data point to add and perhaps confuse things:
I recently helped a library convert from a DOS based library
automation package to a UNIX based system (Innopac from
Innovative Interfaces). Most of the PCs are of the diskless
286 and 386 variety on a Novell Netware network. The
protocol stack was monolithic IPX/NETX which I updated
to current NETX with the odipkt shim so kermit could talk TCP/IP.
The existing frame type was 802.3 so I added Ethernet_II to
the Net.CFG files. (to be updated to Ethernet_II only at some
future date). This is a single segment network with
bridges, routers, or other outside connections.
The Unix box is a Dec Alpha 3000.
The PCs have DANET (Direct Access - Network) as their
menu front end.
So, to finally get to the problem: After about 10 minutes of
sitting idle, the Kermit TCP/IP connection to the UNIX box
times out and the PC drops back to the menu program - it
doesn't hang, no reboot needed, it just drops the connection
after about 10 minutes....
