Let me clear up what I've tried (and failed) to say by stating what
happens in a step by step description.
1) I open up a version of Procomm Plus 4.7 on my Win 98 computer.
2) I tell it to telnet to our AIX box.
3) I log on.
4) I start kermit.
5) I establish a local connection to our CISCO modem bank by typing:
use cisco.
Explanation:
This is a macro that does lots of things, such as
set host 132.147.1.2:7001
set blah blah blah (all kinds of configs for using these modems)
6) I "dial" a client.
7) I do some work, then, all of a sudden, keypresses stop responding.
At this point I really don't know where in the connection path
(starting from my PC and ending up at our client) that a failure has
occured, only that NOTHING unlocks the sudden "freeze" in
communications. Procomm still reports that it is happily connected to
our UNIX host, so I assume that part of the path is okay.
The only thing I can do at this point is shut down Procomm and start it
up again, but when I do the "kermit" process is still running from the
last session. If I just shut down the Procomm session when everything
is still responding then the kermit process dies just fine.
Now we have another group of modems attached to traditional ttys. When
a session hangs when connected to one of these, the lockfile on that
tty does not release, and that tty is reported as unusable by kermit
until the hung kermit process is killed.
