COMMTIMEOUT defaults to 600, try increasing it to 1500. You can also play with 
the transfer block size TXNBYTELIMIT.

Subject: 98 Workstation backup problem


        I am having a problem with one of my workstation clients. The backup
seems to be running fine until it hits the users
    pst file which is over 1 gb. When it gets to this file it starts to back
it up but then after a while just hangs.  The client side
    only shows the following message in the dsmerror.log " failure in
communications open call rc: -50"   My activity log  just
    shows client terminated, did not respond in xxxx seconds. If I exclude
her pst file the backup runs fine. Although her NIC
    is set at auto, the transfer rate shows very good. Anybody have any
suggestions?

    Server is 4.2.3.0 on AIX 4.3.3
    Client is  4.1.3 on Windows 98 workstation
