Hello Friends, : Re: Connection Assurance Timeout w/telnet server. Two questions came up concerning this new Telnet Fix/Feature... and I thought I would answer them here for all to see... First question was if this would impact the operation of the DTC/TAC card ? No, this new functionality is specific to the TCP Host Based Telnet soltuion. I am really not certain of the DTC/TAC functionality, my experience with the DTC preceeds the DTC/TAC solution (hmmm... this is not to say that I am really old...). Anyway the DTC/TAC solution handles all of the TCP traffic short of the 3000 system and what the 3000 sees is TIO/AFCP traffic and knows nothing about the TCP traffic which is incomming to the 3000. Hope this helps. Regards, James Hofmeister [log in to unmask] Hewlett Packard Worldwide Technology Network Expert Center P.S. My Ideals are my own, not necessarily my employers.
