Thanks for your response Richard,

The activity log says:

ANR0481W Session 3174 for node GPGECOS (Linux86) terminated - client did
not respond within 60 seconds.

The TSM server has:
      IDLETIMEOUT           30
      COMMTIMEOUT  60

Other nodes compress and transfer files over a gig in size.  With this
Linux node, I can't even get /var, with several little files, to back up.

I wonder if there's some problems with the TCP/IP settings in Linux
itself.... not necessarily TSM.

The peer is the TSM server.  What does its Activity Log say about the
reason
that it terminated the session?  Maybe the server was installed with
default
configuration values and its timeout specs need boosting?
