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.

It must be a truly old version of PMDF.  We haven't linked to the .OLB file
in years.  You might consider upgrading to a current version of PMDF.  The
current release is V4.1.  V4.2 is in field test.

	With MultiNet 3.1 you can configure the POP server to

		or
		- Leave in the NEWMAIL folder, clearing the NEWMSG bit. POP will
		  read only message with the NEWMSG flag set, if you configure it

$ RMTALLOC/CD/USER=ROOT SUN:: SOME-LOGICAL-NAME

(you'll need to set up an appropriate /.rhosts file on the SUN to give
you rsh access to root)

Then you can mount the disk with the normal mount command on the VMS

YOu can induce multinet's pop3 to move the read mail anywhere you weant which
solves the first problem.

If your users can run Eudora from a removable or owned network disk that would
solve the second. (actually just to keep their  mail folders on such a disk.)

I would also suggest you upgrade to V3.1.  V3.0 has been unsupported for some

    Not entirely true. See my last mail. When you use RMTALLOC/CD the
SUN serves the raw blocks to the VAX, and the disk structure is
interpreted on the VAX.

Anyone out there have any experience with the new IBM XVGA Microchannel card
(supports 132 columns) and a PW 4.1/Windows 3.1 configuration?  We have problems
with both SETHOST and VT320 in 132 column mode and the screen displaying 
garbage.  Neither IBM nor Microsoft have a driver for the new card and have
recommended we try the other drivers that come with windows.  Just trying to 
cut down on the amount of trial and error on this one.

We had the same problem.  Our "fix" was to load the LK250 keyboard driver.
Obviously the Z286 does not have a LK250 kbd, but it seems to work OK.  The
only big drawback is that the F11 and F12 keys are disabled.  All other keys
work OK.  If someone else has a solution that will allow them all to work, I'd
love to hear it.

Hi Ed,

You'll probably get a million responses to this one but here's my 2 cents
worth.

I don't use all-in-1 so I don't know if I can help you but I suspect that this
will work just fine.

To get the PC to get notification of incoming mail you need to do 2 things.

1. Load RCV in netsetup.
2. Modify your pcsa mail user profile and add your node to notify nodes.
   use the other/user profile menu

You can also use mailchk.exe to get a count of new mail.

1. modify mail.ini through mailsetu to keep the mail connection live.
2. execute mail to establish the link
3. execute mailchk

Good luck,

Mark

We are running PATHWORKS/MAC V1.1 under VMS 5.5-1 on a VAX 4000/500. I
originally created several file services with volume passwords, and now
wish to remove them. However,

	MSA$MANAGER> MODIFY FILE "file service" /NOPASSWORD

only removes the password for the current invocation of the file server;
the volume password is back the next time the file server is started. Using
the undocumented /PERMANENT qualifier on the above command does nothing.
Has anyone seen this, and is there any way to permanently remove the volume
password, short of deleting and re-creating the file service?

Yes, all the time. There is an NDIS driver that acts as a 'shim' between
NDIS and the Packet driver interface. (That is, it is run before NETBIND, as
part of NDIS, and it is looks like a Packet Driver to applications like NCSA
or CUTCP that need a packet driver.

It is available via anonymous FTP from various sites, including SIMTEL in the
packetdrvr directory. Look for DIS_PKT9.ZIP.
(I haven't actually looked in that directory on SIMTEL in quite some time,
but I can't remember the name of the place I got my copy from).

If you need help getting it configured, let me know...

InfoServers.  I normally set up a service for all my CD-ROM disks (like this):
        CREATE SERVICE TEMP1 FOR DK4: CLASS V2.0

Then, on the PC side, I connect to that drive:
        USE ?: \\MLINF1\TEMP1 /CD

Is this how you are using your InfoServers?  If not could
you be a bit more specific.  The machine (from my experience) is truly
plug and play, but sometimes a little heavier on the play than I'd like.  -

Hi.
        I am trying to connect as Hitachi CD-ROM (CDR-1750S) to an
   InfoServer 150.

        When I do a "Show Device Full", it returns the correct device type
   (i.e. CDR-1750S), so I know that the InfoServer at least recognizes the
   drive.

        However, the Infoserver does not see the CD.

        Has anyone else managed to get these to work ?

        Thanks for any help.
