I seem to remember a patch to for Pathworks for Mac 1.0 that was required
after the 5.4-2 to 5.4-3 upgrade. Sorry that I don't remember the patch
number but if you've got dsnlink, you could take a look for it.

    I'd try putting in a SET VERIFY in START_MULTINET.COM after the
@MULTINET:START_SERVER (since you know that the MULTINET_SERVER is starting
successfully) and a SET NOVERIFY before starting DSNLINK. One guess
would be that you have an old copy of DCLTABLES; perhaps one in
SYS$SPECIFIC. Confirm that the "$ MULTINET SHOW/VERSION" command works;
the /VERSION switch is new to V3.1.

I've installed UCX 2.0 (aka DEC TCP/IP) on my system and cannot get outward
mail configured properly.  Telnet/FTP/incomming SMTP works fine.  The
name (bind) resolver is working correctly.
 
Whenever I try to post mail off system I basically end up with a
situation in which the STMP server symbiont queue dies a horrible death.
 
I get OPCOM messages complaining of problems with mailboxes, ultimately
leading to an access violation in the symbiont while in module
smtp$do_task.  The log files are not otherwise very helpful.  
 
I don't have any records loaded for routing (MX_records), so I'm wondering
if this is where things are amiss.   I have RTFMs, but I can't say that
I've really integrated all the material in a useful fashion in my brain yet.
 
CSC/DSIN has not be able to help or reproduce the problem,  so I was
wondering if anyone has seen/cured anything similiar.

I have configured remote queues as documented.  These queues end up on Unix
systems which use the "lpr" command, which accepts a few qualifiers
(e.g. -p, -f, etc.).  Is there a way to pass such qualifiers via
Multinet's lpd (e.g. PRINT/PARAMETER=), and why can't I find a comment
anywhere in the documentation about this ?

In case it matters, it's a clustered 4000-200 at VMS 5.5.

Organization: NASA/Ames Research Center, Moffett Field CA USA

We are trying to add Multinet 3.1 to a newly added member of a
VAXCluster.  The cluster is made up of a 3400, 3300 and the new member
is a MicroVAX II, all running VMS 5.4-2.  The 3300/3400 both have 
Multinet running.  However, when I run SYS$COMMON:[MULTINET]CONFIGURE.COM 
to configure the MicroVAX II, after entering all the parameters, it 
bombs out with the following error:

(The last parameter entered was the time zone, and it takes approx. 45
seconds for this error to appear)

%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image MULTINET:COMPILE_HOST_TABLE
-CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file $1$DIA1:[SYS10.SYSCOMMON][MULTINET]COMPILE_HOST_TABLE.EXE;2
-SYSTEM-F-VASFULL, virtual address space is full

Looking the SYSTEM error up, it talks about pages/sections of memory.
I'd persue this, but I'm not sure if these are system parameters that
need increasing or account parameters (for the process that's running
the CONFIGURE).

Can anyone shed some light, before I dive into the DEC System Services
manuals??

Thanks.  That helps.  One more thing though, "showmount" will take a
hostname as a parameter so I can querry other NFS servers for what they are
exporting (or think they are exporting).  Is there any way to get MU
SHO/NFSMOUNT to accept a hostname?

I noted the ad in DEC Professional by TGV about MultiNet being Alpha-ready. 
Excellent job guys.  Bruce Miller is quoted as saying that the changes to the
code could fit on one printout page.  Now, I wouldn't want you folks to give
away any trade secrets, but is there any chance you could put together a
document/presentation/summary of what it took to port your stuff to alpha and
what coding techniques you used to avoid needing massive changes?  After all,
the DEC engineers claim that 90% would need no changes and you seem to have
bettered that tremendously.  Are you planning a Symposium session on this,
perhaps?  A white paper maybe?

We expect to be going to Alpha middle of next year and I'd sure like to be able
to benefit from your experiences!  That is unless I get the job as the unix
administrator for our new rs/6000 and HP boxes and stop dealing with VMS :-).

    Is the port set /MODEM before you start MultiNet?

    You can always force a disconnect with SET/INTERFACE/SLIP=TTA2:/DOWN.

    I would also recommend upgrading to MultiNet V3.1. There may have
been bugs in V2.2 which we don't even remember about anymore. V2.2
hasn't been supported for well over a year.

    Install the MultiNet Programmers' Kit and take a look at the

	No that won't help on startup. That flag is used to lie to the POP

	This can  be used to aviod delays when quiting a POP  session, due to

	3.1 Rev-B isn't faster, but Eudora's timers will be happier with it. 
	It sends the response for the PASS command before it open and parses
	the mailbox, a slight deviation from the RFC. (a bit of a gray area).

    We have the same problem here with our 8mm. It works fine with a
TK50 or real 9-track tape; I've just written it off as a bug in our
8mm drive firmware.

    8mm and 4mm devices are only supported by RMT to the extent that
they correctly emulate 9-track or TK devices.

I'm getting ready to install my v3.1 upgrade (and the rev. B ECO).

Do I need to define the logical MULTINET_POP3_FLAGS as 4 to help prevent
POP clients such as Edora from timing out when a user has a large

I remember reading that the POP server is faster under 3.1, but I don't

We don't have RDB, but are probably getting it soon, so it seemed like a 
good idea to check that the DAL part of Pathworks functions.  I modified
DAL preferences to hold the following lines 

 s1:atalk:SEQVAX.Etherp2
 s2:adsptool:SEQVAX.Etherp2

and fired up the DAL tester (v1.20).  Connections to either s1 or s2 worked
fine (well, they connected, no SQL worked, but then RDB isn't installed)
for the SYSTEM account.  However, I could not connect with any other
username/password combination, including one for an account that is in the

 1: Error #-10632 (0) atalk (SEQVAX:DAL Server:Etherp2)

Is this a repercussion of being RDBless, or do I have something set up

Buy RDB, and try again. Check the file permissions on where the DAL stuff is -
