Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM Communications Server   *
  *                 for z/OS Version 1 Release 13 IP: Telnet     *
  *                 Server using solicitor screen.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Telnet solicitor screen increased in    *
  *                      size causing clients which counted      *
  *                      bytes to fail in v1r13.                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  An application which simply counted the number of bytes
  received from Telnet instead of parsing the 3270 data
  will see different behavior in v1r13 when the
  solicitor screen is received.  The solicitor screen was
  modified to include space for password phrases.
