Jim, I have always had good luck using IBM's Personal Communications
TN3270 (PCOMM) emulator. The current version is, I believe, 5.8, at
least for Windows XP

I may have the issue resolved.
I reinstalled the os (win2k) & emulator (hummingbird).
I can now connect to the icc port. But I didn't get all the way in
because the LU is in use.
When I go back to the mainframe location tomorrow I will know for sure.
It's very troubling not knowing what broke especially considering it's
our mainframe console.
I'm now wondering if there are certain emulators that are better than
others. Does IBM support/recommend certain emulators?
Here I am blaming the emulator - maybe I should be considering a linux
based icc console.
Getting back to the pcap file - it looks like there was about 10
seconds elapsed from act to fin. If you really want I can send the
pcap file. If so let me know where to send it.
Thanks for the help.

sorry...I hit submit by accident.
The trace does not point out any obvious clues.
I see the initial three way handshake
then I see the icc port send a "do tn3270e" command
the pc sends an ack
the icc sends back fin
I'm not enough of an ip guru to diagnose exactly why that happened or
for that matter if that info is in the trace.
Was there a time delay between the ack and fin? Your PC should have sent
WILL TN3270E. If you want, send me your pcap file.
