Michael,

Do you have a  VESOFT account on your machine? If so, do you have a background job running & logged on to the VESOFT account, maybe called ' BACKG,MANAGER.VESOFT '? 

If yes to both of the above questions, then it is probably VESOFT disconnecting you sessions. 

If no to either question then check the  HPTIMEOUT environment variable. A positive value indicates the number of minutes the CI waits until the session is logged off.  The initial value is zero, which means no timed reads. It is possible to write a CI script to be executed from a SYSTEM LOGON UDC that will set the HPTIMEOUT var at logon time. If the HPTIMEOUT var is being set you can search UDC files for the source. Another place to check would be SYSGEN>MISC>SE CITIMEOUT, but not as likely as a SYSTEM UDC setting. 

Connecting to MPE using Reflection you have a few options, which one are you using?

1. Serail connection, using of the old serial line (Same one used by the terminal) by plugging it into a COM port on the Win98 machines.

2. NSVT (VT-Mgr) NS/3000 is required.

3. Telnet, start Inetd on the MPE side to enable the Telnet listener.

Depending on which way you are connected you have various places to check for Network related errors that might cause random disconnects.

I'm VERY new to HP 3000 and Reflections. The company where I work used to
use terminals on serial connection, but now wants to use Win98 clients on
the Ethernet 100Mbps network to connect. The connection seems to work, but
SOME users get kicked out of the connection at seemingly random intervals,
while others can stay connected for hours with no problems. I'm sorry my
info is so sketchy at this point: I do not know what version of Reflections
we are using, and I was told that we are not using NS 3000 AT ALL. Any help
would be a lifesaver!!
