Hi:
There seems to be an issue with PPTP and TN5250 with Linux kernels 2.4.x. This is a show stopper for me. My ASP service depends on this feature. The problem is as follows:
I can connect PPTP no problem. I can bring up my TN5250 emulation no problem. I can even execute certain AS/400 commands. When I try to execute commands that return sub-files (AS/400 speak for multiple pages) the command just hangs the session. If I execute say a command like 'wrkactjob' or 'wrksplf' the session gets a 'SYSTEM X' and stays there. It can be re-created on any TN5250 software, (I've tried several).
If I use simple Telnet it works fine.
The only kernel I've seen it work with is a 2.2.18 custom kernel on a device built by Mikotel.
From what I can gather, it's a key management problem or something to do with certain options in the kernel config when PPP is built into the kernel.
This is a make or break situation for my business. I want to use Astaro but if we can't solve this I'm afraid I can't purchase the product.
Hope you can look at this soon.
