This past weekend we converted our 9.6kb terrestial link to a 64kb satellite
link.  I realize the inherent delays of a satellite link.  Everything worked
except for 3270 Telnet (VM to VM).  Linemode Telnet, FTP and SMTP worked
fine.  But when establishing a 3270 Telnet session, the user would have
his/her terminal cleared, and that would be it.  Sometimes the remote
status area (bottom right hand corner) would appear but never a remote
VM logo.

We run FAL V.1.2.1 with the BTI Ethernet gateway (Texas line driver) and
cisco AGS routers.  Any ideas?  Will V.1.2.2 solve this problem?

Thanks,
Hank
