<<The fix was ugly, we set the NETIPC timer to infinite in the FTP/iX
client and server.  SR 5003233213.  This addressed the internet timeout
problem, but left us with servers which did not go away if the network
dropped until the Connection Assurance timer expired...>>
 
Always "did not go away"? Or only under specific conditions? I'd think
you'd get errors like 64 (remote abort), 67 (connection failure) or 68
(graceful release) most of the time.
 
Of course, when it does happen, it's not pleasant. A "better" solution
might to keep the 60-second timeout, but run it in a loop controlled by a
user-settable (via QUOTE, or something else, or both) counter that
defaults to something comparable to the CA timeout.
