Thanks for all the help guys - I think I'm pretty close to having all the stuff I need for my little client server project.

IIRC, your procedure must open SYS$NET, no matter what it will possibly send
through it, even if it will not send anything back, because it is the opening
of SYS$NET that triggers the dispatching of the DECnet connect-confirm message
back from the target node to the originating one.
Just try a procedure that does a five minutes wait, but does not open SYS$NET,
and you'll see that the network will time out with an error way before five
minutes (and your procedure will be stopped). Then simply add the open of
SYS$NET before the wait command and you will see that it will work whatever
time you chose for the wait, i.e. it will not time out, because the connection
will be opened and confirmed both sides and both ways.
IIRC it's not even necessary to explicitly send something thru SYS$NET to
confirm the connection, just open it.
HTH, :)

Happy birthday, Brian!
If you want a gift I can give you season 2 of LOST on DVD or a 2000s-era Sony Walkman.

How much heat does it output though? :p
It only feels like a *small* hair dryer. ;) I don't even think too
much about running little 1U machines, though. You'll understand when
you come to visit.
Yup. From the pictures I've seen, you've got quite a few racks. ;)
Speaking of 1Us, I have a 1U sitting on top of your ES40. Quite a size difference! ;)
You're gonna love the es40 sitting in the living room waiting
patiently for you in the winter. ;! She'll definitely keep a room
warm. You get the one with two drive cages, too. Plus! FibreChannel
cards!
Schweet!
When you come to pick her up and do the trade, you can pick if you want any of the PCI cards from my ES40. Several of them I will never use. ;)
I do need to devise a better way to keep the hard drives plugged in though...currently have them propped up with screwdrivers...need something to support the full-height drives that predate the ES40. ;)

I started to, but now I have to go install the pcap libraries. I'll
get back to it tomorrow.
On my alpha or a simulator?
I'm doing it on one of *my* Alphas.
Ah. Which model alpha? ;)
I'm doing it on AXPEE, which is a DS10L.
Ah. That'd be more fun and less cheat-like than using an es40 to run simh. ;)
