Tom,

As I mentioned in an earlier message ACC is actively working the 
problem.  And while we argee with Dave that in cases where the
5250 is being used in a gateway with significant traffic there
seems to be virtual circuit resource limitations. Please note
that when used in a end-host configuration, which the product was 
designed for, the 5250 works well.  Also it is important to
keep in mind that the vc limit is not artifical but has to do 
with available resources both in the host and the front-end board.

ACC is preparing to release a version of the 5250 which will
double the number of virtual circuits available.  In addition,
members of our technical staff off-line from this forum have
had a number of conversations with both Dave and technical personnel
from BBN concerning PSN 7 deployment.

Yes, life is too short to be mad about things; however
if you have detailed and constructive criticism we would
be happy to discuss it in an OBJECTIVE manner.

Gary.
