     The problem you're experiencing might be due to ADSM client software,
     not the Internet connection software. I'm assuming you're trying to
     backup the MAC to an ADSM MVS server. The MAC could potentially create
     filenames that the ADSM MVS server cannot handle (especially if it's
     V1.1).  If the MAC filenames have nondisplayable characters, e.g. an
     ascii null, as part of the name, then the ADSM V1.1 MVS server could
     have problems, causing the session to be abnormally terminated and
     garbage stored on the MVS data base.

     We encountered a similar problem last year.  We store MAC files on a
     Novell server and had problems backing them up.  The Novell servers
     were running V1.1 client software and the problem was corrected by
     installing the V2.1 client software. Our ADSM MVS server was kept at
     V1.1.

There have been several notes lately about the Power Mac client that was just
released, and I have several interested customers here.  Comments were made ab
out the dropped sessions with the Internet Connection 1.1 software that comes
with MacOS 7.5.3 - has there been any indication from Apple as to when we
might see a fix?  Can we expect to see it available as a patch, or will we
need to wait until the following release of the MacOS?
