Might be interesting to hear if it could talk with RSX... I *STILL* need to find the cables to get my systems up and running. I have a 20Mbit *Commercial* FIOS line basically going to waste, since until my servers are up and running a residential line would work just fine for me. My RSTS/E system is actually in worse shape than PDXVAX and MONK. At least they're in the racks, though they aren't cabled up. The BA123 chassis for CAMECA is sitting under the workbench in the garage, while I think most of the boards are over in the corner where it will live. Realistically I don't see me being online for at least another couple months, as I have a lot of work to do on the house before the weather gets to bad. I really miss having my VMS systems online 24x7, or being able to flip a switch and have a PDP-11 powered up. Maybe it's just me who's crazy enough to keep several PDP-11 (and PDP-8) systems up and running at home... :-) But anyway. DECnet (well, phone, DAP and CTERM) between RSX and Linux isn't really working, even though it should be pretty similar to talking with VMS systems (from Linux point of view). That's bizarre, because I regularly used to use dnlogin on Linux to connect to MIM (and I also tried it back again) when I was setting up the link. I did also do a few file transfers, though they were very basic, so probably didn't stretch anything very much :) I just logged in to MIM and managed to TYPE a file that was on my Linux system. Can you be more specific about the problems you were seeing? are they incoming or outgoing? which commands were you using? Chrissie
