SYMPTOMS
========

After you upgrade from SNA Server 3.0 to 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1), TN3270 users
who are assigned multiple LUs to their IP address (to support multiple sessions)
are only able to open a single session. This problem affects TN3270-only clients
(not TN3270E).

When attempting to open a second session from the same TN3270 client, the TN3270
emulator receives the following error:

  PROG 505

  TN3270E Service Error 511 Telnet negotiation failure: client did not
  send a valid configured TN3270 terminal type.

CAUSE
=====

This problem was introduced in SNA Server 3.0 Service Pack 1, by the addition of
TN3270 server support for multiple ports.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0 Service
Pack 1. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the
