My workaround for that is to use DECnet proxy information. However, I'm not sure that is available in 11M. Sadly, there is no proxy support on M - only M+. I still don't understand how it works when talking to a VMS system, though? LENTO is doing the same thing in either case, but with a VMS system on the far end all is well and with an RSX system on the other end it doesn't work. Bob
