I've not really used the ResetSeqNumFlag but, as far as I understand,
it's intended for resetting seqnums within a continuous 24 hour session.
One side initiates the request by sending a reset Logon (with 141=Y and
34=1) and the other side responds by also sending a reset Logon (with
141=Y and 34=1); the parties thereby agreeing to the reset. If a reset
logon is sent and no reset logon is returned by the counterparty, then I
guess, yes, the connection should be terminated:

"The connection should be shutdown and manual intervention taken if this
process is initiated but not followed properly."

Is the counterparty attempting to reset seqnums in a continuous 24 hour
session?

It seems odd to me that they are responding to your normal logon with a
reset logon. Is this allowed?

Perhaps someone else has a bit more experience with 24 hour sessions?
