I was happy to see that others are using PCOMM so perhaps someone will be able to figure out my plight. I use the OS/2 flavor (4.21) and promptly each Saturday, my console and any other open sessions running VM go blank and there is a 658 code on the bottom of the frame of each open session. I don't think that there is anything special about Saturdays. No one is even working. I believe it has something to do with having to reboot the system every Monday to get the sessions back. So, something "fills up" or breaks 6 days after rebooting OS/2 and VM. When I was finally able to find out what a 658 code meant, it said that it was the session(s) attempting to initialize the TCPIP connection to the hardware management console. This makes sense as while VM is booting I notice that the sessions beep and display the VM logo around the same time as TCPIP is brought up. The actual error that I get is VMYIOD041T Permanent I/O error on console, SCSW=0009. This problem plagues all four of my IBM servers which are, obviously, all configured exactly alike. Thanks in advance for any insight anyone may have.
