Johnny,
Thanks for the screen shots!? It figures RSX gets it right with
everybody...? One wonders whether the group didn't have sufficient
'weight' to throw around to get others groups to see their point of
view, as it were.? At a certain point, there appears to have been a
significant amount of NIH going on, particularly after the VMS/BLISS
corporate direction/mandates came down.
Oh, I wouldn't say they got things right. Just that you had some more
development going on for a long time on DECnet/RSX, which comes as no
surprise. However, they were unmaintained for the longest time, and I
think they don't work out of the box anymore, and I had to fix a few
things in the code.
So RRS and HOST are different NRT client applications,
then?? Can you
comment on the protocols spoken?? Or would you have source available?
Yes, they are different programs. There is also RVT, for talking to VMS
hosts without using CTERM.
I can maybe comment on the protocol details, if I look at the sources. I
do not have enough in my head, and I don't think I can share the sources
at this time.
What about what the RSX NRT server wants?? Is there
anything I should be
pushing down the pipe before handing the connection over to the monitor?
I could look at that as well, but I would really recommend people to use
telnet if possible instead. :-)
