Dirk, We have been having problems with our LPSERVE application on our mainframe for some time, I believe that it is a bug in the application, but was wondering whether there is anything we can do about this in the short run.
I could create a protocol, but do not know what data the LPR server wishes to recieve, send back and disconnect data. I am running servers alive version 4.0.1453 as a service on a win2k server. The log does not show anything untoward and shows as down after the check that causes the LPSERVE hang. Trev, Can you ask Ray, what data it expects to receive and what it will respond with and what the correct disconnect data is?

(all this for now is just a circumvention whilst they fix the error handling bug ?).

Your PMR has been at or near the top of my planned activities for the day for the past two weeks, but various crises have kept interfering with my plans. I will let you know as soon as I identify any new information. I was not aware that you were still having this problem regularly. Have you had an opportunity to update the code in the port monitoring program to add a delay between performing the CONNECT and CLOSE calls? Or is such a change not something you have control over (ie, its a program from another vendor)? Maybe another alternative would be to give LPSERVE a higher dispatching priority so that it would be more likely to complete the "ACCEPT" process of the new session before the RST packet comes in.
