Has anyone come across this problem before.  On the client, we
are using FTP Software's PC TCP.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Subject:  Re:  Dos Client comm.  timeout

I installed and tested ADSM for DOS and was able to restore large (>
1.5MB) files with no problem.  I went back and tried ADSM for Windows
again.  This time with TCPBuffsize increased from 8 to 16 and still
the same problem.  I cannot restore files > 13KB.

The readme file for the DOS client had the following:  However, I
don't think this applies to me because I am not using smartdrv (also
not using ramdisk).  "When using smartdrv.exe with the \DOUBLE
option, the ADSM Backup clients using IBM TCP/IP 2.1 might hang
periodically during restore/retrieve, especially when
restoring/retrieving large amounts of data.  If you discover that
this happens, disable the double buffering option of smartdrv.exe.
This is a known IBM TCP/IP 2.1 for DOS problem."

I don't think my problem is caused by timing out.  I get the message
"TCP/IP Communications failure" almost immediately after issuing the
restore.
