Switch to x.400 connectors. There is precious little difference, at the network level, between Site Connectors and intrasite communications - they both rely entirely on RPC connectivity, which frankly blows across unstable or tempermental WANs.
Alternately (since you'd need to own Enterprise to use x.400 connectors), you could also use the IMS as your connector, but I find x.400 easier to use for connector purposes. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
