Thanks Mark and Jack for the responses. Since then, the network guys admitted to changing something on the server. They blamed the intermittent problem with communicating from the mainframe on the router that connects the mainframe to the network -- something about how it has to hold a lot of information because the mainframe gets connected to by so many different addresses.

But that's another story.... One of the things that I tend to run into is that the network folk's access is different than the mainframe's. And the problem is usually a router or setting that the mainframe goes thru and their PC's don't. - just a thought. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
