5889.0. "digiboards and NT 4.0" by ALFSS2::WHITTINGTON (Where is my Starbuck) Tue Apr 08 1997 04:57

    Has anyone had success getting the Digiboard to communicate on an Alpha
    4100 using NT 4.0. According to my customer, the users are able to dial
    into the Digiboard, the Digiboard makes a handshake, but it does'nt go
    further than that.(no login screen, or anything indicating success).
    They do not have RAS configured. Is this a prerequiste? I have no
    documentation on this product.
    
    Thanks

5889.1	what were they expecting ?	BBPBV1::WALLACE	john wallace @ bbp. +44 860 675093	`Tue Apr 08 1997 09:24`	7
	What are they expecting it to do (if they don't have RAS configured) ? You can't just dial in from a terminal and have it prompt "Username:" when you hit return... :-) (not without extra software anyway) regards john
5889.2	They would need RAS...	ALFSS2::WHITTINGTON	Where is my Starbuck	`Wed Apr 09 1997 11:08`	6
	You are right that without RAS configured they would not get username,etc. Apparently, with LOTUS notes, it connects automatically. Don't know about this, and will check. I really thought that RAS was necessary, but wanted to boundce it off someone. Ed

	RE: .2 Remember, with RAS, you are NOT going to get a "Username:" prompt like you would with VMS. This is not VMS. NT is not a "timesharing/dumb terminal" operating system. If you want that capability, you need to purchase it from someplace. mike

	.3> If you .3> want that capability, you need to purchase it from someplace. Or wait for Windows NT 5.0... (at least for the 'timesharing' aspect, don't know about 'dumb terminal'. But then, as there are already Telnet servers for NT around, you never know...). Hans.
