You have a DECnet key (not a PAK!) for DECnet on a pre V5.0 VMS system, rigjt? ------Origineel bericht------ Van: gerry77 at mail.com Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: Re: [HECnet] DECnet performance problems (on TOPS-10) Verzonden: 31 augustus 2011 15:05 On Wed, 31 Aug 2011 10:58:53 +0200, you wrote: On PDP:s (RSX11-Mplus) and VAX/VMS, C-TERM (eg. SET HOST) is usually sort of "sluggy". Oh well, it depends! :) Usually our DECnet connections are very smooth, at least between VMS nodes; VAX, Alpha and Itanium, no matter which VMS version. In Italy we say that it glides (so well that) it seems greasy. :P LAT (eg SET TERM/LAT) is a protocol developed to cope with terminals character by character communication at first hand! I don't know if LAT is available to your 10-system, though, but if it is, use that for terminal traffic as far as possible. Yes, LAT is available, but I have other problems with it. As soon as I'll be able to tackle it, I'll try also that path. TOPS-10 is a though "game"... Besides, what version of VMS, on what hardware? I've heard birds singing of problems combining modern VMS-DECnet with older implementations in other machines... By now I have tried VMS 7.2 on VAX and 8.3 on Alpha. Now I'm waiting to try VMS 4.7 on the same Ethernet segment as the TOPS-10 node, then I will report on results! :) Thanks, G. Verzonden vanaf mijn draadloze BlackBerry -toestel
