Perhaps. Run @sys$manager:tcpip$configure Select server options, the last one ought to be xdm. Its state must be enabled, it is probably disabled or stopped. Once you disable a service all files get deleted. This all off the top of memoryn I have no access to my own systems now so i can't check all this.

It's running TCP/IP Services 5.1 - could this be an issue?

These are installed with the filetype .TEMPLATE. Rename them to .TXT. Either access.txt or server.txt must be modified to allow xdm servers to connect. Just look into each of them and near the bottom of the file you'll find a comment to that effect. ------Origineel bericht------ Van:Sampsa Laine Afzender:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden:hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: Re: [HECnet] SIMH VAX memory weirdness Verzonden: 29 november 2010 13:04 On 29 Nov 2010, at 11:30, Johnny Billquist wrote: Doh! Actually, double DOH! So we are talking past each other. An Alpha is not a VAX. Different rules apply. Ignore everything I said unless you are thinking in the context of a VAX. :-) Johnny This is why I like HECNET - instant answers to esoteric questions :) Which reminds me - anyone have any tips on how to get remote XDM going on OpenVMS VAX 7.3? I can't find the setup files. Basically, I want to point an XDM client on the laptop at the XDM server on the SIMH machine and get a graphical session that way.
