Many thanks to Paul Peplinkski, Ken Hall and Pat O'Keefe, for their recollections about Arbiter. That's a great help; fills in many of the missing pieces.
I was the SNA guy at that particular site, and most Arbiter problems initially came through from the Help Desk as comms issues. It usually turned out that, in fact, the Arbiter task on the host had silently abended in the middle of the working day. The LU2 performance comment rings a bell too. In 1990 that particular customer (who much remain nameless) still thought of APPC as a dangerous and radical innovation, so the LU6.2 option would have been rejected out of hand. It looks like Tangram was bought by Opsware a few years back; and Opsware in turn have now been bought out by HP!
