These are actually two different problems--the second (the 
ASP communications error) is covered in your earlier 
ticket, #790.

The first is a common condition caused by a timed-out host 
session.  There are a number of approaches to dealing with 
host timeouts.  The easiest is if the userid's that you are 
logging on to the host with are configured so that they 
have no timeout.

If that isn't possible, then you need to find-out the 
timeout period set in your host (like 30 minutes or 
so)...then implement a timed section to perform a "sweep"--
see ticket #236 for some sample code involved in this 
solution.

What you do is set your timeout minutes (console settings 
page) to maybe 5 minutes less than the host timeout...then 
run the sweep every 4 minutes, so that a host session 
always gets closed by you before it times-out...
