If I look in LASTCP, I see the VAX as a client - BUT in the Infoserver
software itself, there is no connection to the service that I set up.
It's as almost as the request never makes it to the Alpha -or- the
software on the Alpha doesn't understand the request (as you say) and
ignores it.
If you could test with another Alpha system it would be nice to pinpoint the
differences between a VAX<-->InfoServer and an Alpha<-->InfoServer dialog,
and to ascertain that your configuration works (besides the VAX).
For grins if you'd like I can send you some traces off-list.
My dream, in some remote future, is to have a little InfoServer daemon
running on Linux, just like mopd and latd... Christine... :-)
