And in non VMSnet speak? It works for Sampsa - it must not like you, Peter :-) Access information for node CODA::/ACCOUNT:decnet I don't think "decnet" is the correct account to use for default access - it should be a null account name and a null password. In transparent DECnet speak, it would be CODA""::INFO.TXT. I don't know exactly how that translates to NFT. Bob Ok.... NFT>type CODA::INFO.TXT BOB AND DEBEE'S COMPUTER GARAGE ------------------------------- This is the node CODA, currently an AlphaServer DS20E running OVMS 8.3, in Bob and Debee's Computer Garage and Retirement Home for old DEC computers. It normally runs 24x7 and serves as our server for mail, DNS, NTP, Samba, and a few other services. It's also a hub of sorts for other machines which connect to HECnet via Multinet DECnet over TCP/IP connections. Thanks..
