 Is anyone having 3174 session disconnect problems on the AEA ports ?
 We are having a problem on a 3174 with the following configuration:

 VTAM 3.2    VTAM 3.1.1
 +------+     +------+    NCP 5.2     NCP 5.2    +------+    +--------+
                          +-----+     +-----+      3174        HUGHES
   HOST  -SNI-  HOST  ----  NCP  -INN-  NCP  ----  AEA   ----   FILE
                          +-----+     +-----+      PORT        SERVER
 +------+     +------+                           +------+    +---I----+
                                                                I
                                                           _____I_____
                                                           | CRT     |
                                                           ___________

 If a session is dropped, the session with the host is not disconnected.
 A subsequent session on the same port receives the prior host session.
 When a logoff is performed off of the host application the session
 hangs and doesn't disconnect. By the way, the application is IDMS on a
 host that is a back-to-back gateway to us.

 Any suggestions?

 Has anyone experienced ANY difficulities with AEA ports that have
 been 'roughly disconnected'-broken etc.. hanging sessions...etc.
 in any configuration ???
