The first thing I would check are the TimeMark & ScanInterval TN3270 parms vs any timeout limits in any firewalls the traffic must traverse.

When we logon to a mainframe on the same local network, we can stay logged on all day. But when we logon to a mainframe across the WAN, after a few minutes of inactivity, something times out, and it's not TSO, because the userid stays logged on and we don't get the VTAM screen. It's really bizarre. It doesn't happen on the AS/400 partitions or on VSE or on VM near as I can tell. It only happens on sessions controlled by MVS TCP/IP (with VTAM.)
