s there any way to make the NTY session show up as REMOTE instead of LOCAL? Yes, a kernel variable needs to be set by the following command: $ MULTINET SET/KERNEL NETWORK_PTY_IS_REMOTE 1 This command has to be executed each time MultiNet is started. If it exists, MultiNet executes the file MULTINET:LOCAL_INITIALIZATION.COM after starting. You can add the SET/KERNEL command to the file if it already exists, or create the file and add the SET/KERNEL command if the file does not already exist. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
