Error description
Customer's applications depend on auto-reconnect function of telnet3270 if user jumps from one to another because their application issues DCTLU to TN3270 gateway when logoff from the source application and it translated to 'disconnect' of TCPIP connection with client. When customer was using old HOD, the HOD emmulater issued 'connect' immediately after disconnected, however, Pcomm issues it two seconds later after the session was once disconnected. As the result, customer gets VTAM initial screen instead of the one for another host application.
Local fix
