2809.0. "Decterm Window -> term port -> Modem -> dialin?" by LESLIE::LESLIE (Andy Leslie, CS Systems Engineering) Thu May 24 1990 10:48

    
    I know I've seen this, but can't remember where!
    
    I'm taking a VS2000 home for my vacation next week.
    
    My requirement is a utility or somesuch that'll connect a decterm out
    through the terminal port on the VS2000 so that I can hang a modem off
    it and dial in as per usual without having to have a terminal as well
    as a vaxstation monitor on my table.
    
    Suggestions welcome

Yeah, well...SET HOST/DTE is not so great with large quantities of data at
2400 baud in my humble opinion.  It tends to overflow buffers.  You could use
DECnet!

Or how about VMS_KERMIT?

2809.4Or how about tipAIAG::BILLMERSMeyer Billmers, AI ApplicationsFri May 25 1990 09:2211
I have the same situation, and I use a combination of kermit and tip.

Isn't it interesting that all respondants have assumed Andy was going to run
VMS on this VS2000? I run VMS on my w/s at work and ULTRIX on the one at
home. There are several strong arguments to using ULTRIX on a small, standalong
workstation. I read note .0 twice; nowhere does it say "VMS".

By the bye, Andy, if you'll pardon the insertion of my $.02, doesn't sound
like much of a vacation!

2809.5Use altypeahd, hostsync,ttsync (on VMS)SCAM::DIALFri May 25 1990 10:2111
    Assuming Andy is using vms...
    
    Set host/dte should work well for interactive type stuff, I'm using it
    right now.  Kermit (i think) works in that mode too, and will do fine
    for file transfers.  
    
    The buffer overflow problems can be avoided by making sure that
    "Altypeahd" is turned on (preferably on both machines).  Also make sure
    that "hostsync" and "ttsync" are enabled at both ends.

2809.6LESLIE::LESLIEAndy Leslie, CS Systems EngineeringTue Jun 05 1990 10:3810
    Well, considering where I work (CSSE/VMS) VMS was a safe assumption :-)
    
    I used SET H/DTE. It was crap because of flow control (or lack of). So
    I did more gardening than working and I guess that the vacation got to
    be 'real' anyhow.
    
    
    Back at work,

2809.7It works! (In theory anyway)SCAM::DIALWed Jun 06 1990 11:176
    Welcome back.
    There seems to be some holes in the flow control, even with host sync
    and ttsync turned on everywhere, if I run my serial port at 9600 I lose
    characters.  At 4800 there is still some loss, but it's not too bad.
