We recently converted our system from VM/SP 6 to VM/ESA - ESA feature and
have inquired some occassional problems with our users that come in through
our IBM 7171.  The user will be reading/deleting mail and all of a sudden
get knocked out of mail (sometimes they are disconnected from VM) with the
following two messages:

                 DMSXSC117S Error writing to display terminal
                 DMSXSE526E Option RESERVED valid in display mode only

It turns out that there terminal is somehow being changed from DISPLAY mode to
TYPEWRITEr mode.

This only has been reported by users coming in through the 7171 and it happens
sporadically.  We did not have any reports of this problem with SP 6.

Part of our system config:  VM/ESA - ESA R1.0 Put level 9104+
                            MAILER - R2.08
                            MAIL   - 90.01.01

While I've got your ear, I also changed the version of IUCVTRAP that we use
from the SP version to the XA version that Richard includes with the mail
package.  With 98+ percent of our users still 370 users for foreseeable future
was the change to IUCVTRAP necessary/advisable?
