#The earlier posting about the Remote X clients is in a similar realm of my 
#problem for the day. I am trying to make my PC (running Pathworks for DOS 
#TCP/IP) run DECWindows with my VAX running VMS 5.5 and Multinet 3.1.
#
#I have this working using the DECnet transport on my PC, and it is working 
#using MacTCP on the Macintosh workstations.
#
#The error I get on the VAX console is:
#R_SERVICES: Socket read error %MULTINET-W-ECONNRESET
#
#Also, I started the Pathworks software on my PC and all tests passed when I 
#ran X11DEBUG.
#

This is a common problem with Pathworks.  Check to see if you have REXEC enable
under MultiNet.  If so, disable it since the Pathworks client will attempt to
speak UNIX if it detects that there is an REXEC server on the remote machine.
This is due to the fact that UCX at the time didn't support an REXEC server.

I know that this is not what John asked about but...

We have dozens of VT1200's that do not have IP address's assigned. They 
only use LAT. However when they power up they send out BOOTP requests that 
Multinet tries to respond to. This ususally generates 4 OPCOM error messages 
on every BOOTP server we have.

I haven't yet been annoyed enough to ask TGV how to stop this, but now that 
you bring it up...how can we stop the OPCOM from reporting invalid BOOTP 
addresses? Or, even better, can we selectively tell the BOOTP server to 
ignore all 08-00-2B-XX-XX-XX addresses?

Anybody out there got experience setting up acc boards for HDLC and x.25?

I'm trying to set up IP over HDLC on a point-to-point circuit with some ACC
5100/6100 boards in a uVAX  and an 8600 respectively.  (Don't ask why, I just
work here sometimes). The uVAX acc board comes up fine and will successfully
loopback (internal and external).  I can ping, FTP, and  telnet to it. The 8600
set up does not.  Same version of MultiNet on both systems, 3.1(X) I get the
following error setting up either internal or external loopback on the 8600:

  DSTL86> mu ping 195.200.200.2
  PING 195.200.200.2 (195.200.200.2): 56 data bytes

ENOBUFS...what buffers where and what do I tweak?

    No, they shouldn't. What version of MultiNet are you running, and how

Hello,

	We are running MultiNet over SLIP (we'd use ethernet if we had
it, but...), and are having problems with data transfer:

With ftp, small files transfer okay, but anything larger than ~20K
fails - it transfers the first few block, then freezes up and
eventually times out:

DB1.CC.ROCHESTER.EDU>put year93.lis year93_b.lis

    (...several minutes elapse here...)
net write: %MULTINET-F-ECONNCLOSED, Connection closed
[Aborting data transfer]
<File transfer completed ok

Mail (PMDF) seems to have similar problems - small messages transfer
okay, but larger ones fail:

$ run pmdf_root:[exe]mtcp_master

Telnet mostly works, but is quite slow, and occasionally disconnects.

We are running VMS 5.5-1, MultiNet 3.0-G, PMDF 3.1 on a MacroVAX-II
(which we would upgrade if we could :-).

Does anyone have any idea what is happening, or what I should look
for?

Any leads would be much appreciated.

We have started testing SLIP via Multinet.  Since dedicating a high
speed modem to the back  of a workstation is not possible, we would
like to use LAT connections to allow a userto dial into our high
speed modem banks, get connected to a DECserver, connect via the
DECserver to the machine offering the SLIP service, log in normally,
then use the MULTINET SET INTERFACE command to convert their terminal
line into a SLIP line.  Is this possible?

All of my tests end up with "device cannot be connected to Multinet
kernel" or something close to that.  I'd love to hear anyone's success
stories with something like this.

Several others have commented on how to work around these limitations
somewhat. However, the fundamental problem here is that you're trying to
use POP3 as a solution to a problem it was never intended to solve.

POP3 is intended as a kind of reverse SMTP; it lets machines download mail
from a central server machine. By and large these systems are incapable of
operating an SMTP server; this is the primary reason for having POP3. Now,
a protocol that's designed to download messages in this way doesn't have
to worry about a lot of things:

(1) Folders are irrelevant since the POP server is just an incoming maildrop.
(2) Keeping copies on the server is unnecessary (same reason).
(3) Partial message downloads are not provided for since server operations are
    an all-or-nothing sort of deal.

The sort of usage you're describing is that of a lightweight mail client with
little or no client message store. The PathWorks and MailWorks clients all
operate this way, as you noted. The Internet equivalent isn't POPx, it is
IMAP. IMAP was explicitly designed with this sort of thing in mind. It
supports access to multiple folders, messages are only kept on the server,
partial message operations are provided, folder operations are provided, and
so on and so forth. IMAP is much more complex than POPx because of all the
added functionality it provides.

Various IMAP clients are available. The one I know of for the Mac is called
Mailstrom (from Stanford).

IMAP servers for VMS are harder to come by. As far as I know we'll be releasing
the first one as part of PMDF V4.2, which is currently in field test.

=> Reading mail from different Macintosh, in  shared environnment :

There is a solution for this problem. 

The facts...
When you start Eudora the first time, it creates a folder called 'Eudora
folder' in the System folder. This folder contains the Eudora parameters
file and any incoming and stored mails. 


Solution...
Each user should have it's own Eudora folder. There should be a restricted
access to this folder and it should be accessible for various Macintosh.


solution 1

Put the Eudora folder on a Disquette. Each user holding and managing it's
own disquette. To read your mail, put your disquette in a Macintosh, double
click the parameter file and there you go... You may keep a copy of the
Eudora program on each Mac or one copy on each disquette. 
This is ok, cheap and simple. 
BUT disquette access is slow and disquette are frequently (much much more
than hard disks) subject to crashes. 

solution 2

run a macintosh as a file server. Put it in a secure place. User connects
to the mac through Apple share and so we have access restriction. In the
personnal "volume" the user have it's private Eudora folder. He clicks on
the parmater file and then he goes.


We use a VAX with Pathworks as file server. It is fast and reliable.

For a remote mail consultation, the user and you will need Appletalk remote
connection. An Eudora capable of working an a modem line is currently being
developped. I fact, I've heard of it, but don't know in what stage it is. 

Feel free to ask more questions if any. 

Happy mailing.

You might try using the select() routine and the rest of the socket routines
provided with VAX C and UCX.  Then use MultiNet's UCX emulation for your
underlying TCP/IP.  We use this approach a lot, though I don't know for certain
that the DEC select() does the right thing for what you want.

I was in a similar situation many moons ago. I think I fixed it then
by just changing the PMDF distribution so it linked in the current
MULTINET_SOCKET_LIBRARY/SHARE rather than the old library file you
quote, and then it all seemed to work. Do try that before you work
any harder...it might be all that you need to do. Nothing will
explode if you try the linking phase manually....

A local hospital is looking to expand by building a small campus-like
facility in the burbs.  They want to network the new buildings with their
current HIS (AS/400) system and also be able to interface some new OpenVMS
systems (hopefully running Multinet), PCs, Macs, RS/6000s and some
special-purpose radiology equipment.  My first inclination is for them to
put in a couple of Cisco routers connected via a leased line.  The problem
is that we don't know hospital equipment or typical applications and they
don't know computer networking.  Is there anyone out there that has
expertise in network integration in a hospital environment?  They need help
on EVERYTHING from routers to physical cabling.  Their current equipment
and networking expertise is limited to two disconnected IBM token ring
networks and a bunch of 5520 terminals to an AS/400.  We have a pretty good
grasp on networking PCs, Macs, UN*X and VMS but my background is somewhat
lacking in AS/400 (not entirely accidentally) and when you start talking
special purpose Ethernet protocols for CAT scanners my eyes start to roll
back into my head.  Anyone willing to be a contact for these poor souls? 
Anyone done this?  Horror stories?  Please include your mailing address and
