Subject: Problems with terminating failed sessions when uploading files

I'm hoping someone can enlight me with my problem.

Currently I'm running Kermit95 on two Windows NT Servers.
One running k95d.exe with listen to port 3000 using hostmode.bat
and the other acts as an client to upload and download
files over two routers using ISDN connections.

I face problem when the current uploading session fail
due to comms error (ISDN line down) and the session on the
client can timeout and exit but on the server which running
k95d.exe session still keep hanging there. As the result, I was
not able to re-upload the file as the previous 'hang' session is
still locking up the file.

The only way that I could resolve this is to terminate the session
on the server manually. I had tried to set all setting as follow:
set server idle-timeout
set server timeout
set receive timeout
set send timeout
on both client & server scripts.
but all this setting is effective on the client, not on the server.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Alvin Lee
