- (Actually, I mean the logs that ISIS writes out when you use cmd snap:
- after doing cmd snap, you find files called xxxx.log in the directory where
- your application was running. These are the ones that might have been
- helpful).

- Looks like an old problem. Switching to a more recent SUN OS release
- or ISIS release or both would certainly fix it. We didn't introduce a
- work-around on these TCP channels not breaking until we had actually
- seen the problem, and you are apparently still on the ISIS and SUN OS
- releases which predated us introducing the fix.
-
- As a work-around, I think that an explicit call to isis_probe(60,30)
- should do the trick. But, test this before running your demo!
