2958.0. "remote decwindows, more robust?" by DELNI::MCGORRILL (Its your turn anyway..) Tue Jun 19 1990 17:54

    
    	I have users who are having problems with remote windowing sessions
    dying.  We know its from a flaky LAN, but normal decnet links
    survive aok, only with usual response timeouts.
    
    	Is there a way to make the windowing links as robust? like
    some logical like DECW$DISPLAY_SANITY_TIMER or some other 
    way. LAN errors happen from time to time.

    Hello? let me guess, the decwindows designers didn't think about the
    problem?! let me ask it a different way. Is there a way to get
    remote sessions to survive this...

    ...sethost sessions survive, decwindow sessions don't - why?
