1302.0. "Point to point question" by SCASS1::TURNERG () Thu Apr 24 1997 10:53

    I have a customer who has hooked  a 8400 via a DE500-AA point to
    point to a HP T520. The DE500-AA is set to Twisted. The problem
    they are seeing is at times the 2 systems quit talking to each 
    other. If they try to do a ping from the HP they get a message
    like NOBUFFER SPACE AVAILABLE. But if the do a ping from the
    8400 the circuit starts to work again. Their current work around
    is to keep a ping going from machine to machine. What could be
    causing this problem.

    What OS?  What driver and what version?  Update to latest version
    and try again.

    We would need lots more info to help with this.

1302.2Heres what I know for nowSCASS1::TURNERGTue Apr 29 1997 15:105
    THE 8400 is running Digital Unix 4.0a the HP T520 is running HP UX
    10.01. How do we check to see what driver the 8400 is using as far
    as we know we are using the default ethernet driver of Unix 4.0a,
    the HP is also using it default ethernet driver. Are there later
    drivers for the DE500-AA that the customer can pull.
