Bingo! Even though I though I had checked TCPIP's 191 disk for a file, perhaps it was still open when I checked. The messages appeared near the bottom of the file on TCPIP's 191 disk: "TCPIP TRACDATA A".

ToCpPos 8192, CharsScanned 2048, hbound(...) 8192. Killing conn. 15:20:49 DTCSTM120I Killing Connection: 2 ...Don't forget to turn off the trace (eg. NETSTAT OBEY NOTRACE). Is this sufficient?
