Actually, prior to On-Line version 5.01 version compatibility constraints between I-Star and the engine were not as stringent as later versions. So I don't think that is the problem on the local system, since that configuration has been in place as our development system for about four years without a hitch. All other TCP/IP apps between the remote and local system are running fine. Haven't been able to identify any errors with netstat or pppstat, nor any other process complaints in syslog. Tomorrow we will have I-Net on a workstation connected to the remote server's ethernet. Maybe we will be able to isolate the problem from that perspective -- at least to determine whether the I-Star and On-Line versions on the remote are giving us the problem. Thanx for your reply. james
