Yes. The prompts are done by RSTS/E, and the error comes from MIM because you are not specifying a user, and your RSTS/E system are not providing any proxy information as an alternative. Ok. Thanks for the insight. I will try to figure out how to set up proxy info in DECnet/E. You may see me pecking on MIM a bit over the weekend as I try to get this working. No worries. Keep experimenting. Just FYI - In VMS and RSX, the commands are: NCP SET EXEC INCOMING PROXY ENABLED NCP SET EXEC OUTGOING PROXY ENABLED (Although you'll only need the outgoing proxy for getting it to work in a nicer way to MIM from your system.)
