3710.0. "DECW-E-TIMEOUT-CONTROL" by SIOG::OPERATOR () Thu Nov 22 1990 07:14

    Hello,
    
    I am having a problem with the Decterm controller on a 3100.
    The user is starting a DECterm and then invoking DECTSE by
    typing MC DECTSE. 
    However , when she tries to connect to a service she gets the
    message   
            %DECW-E-TIMEOUT-CONTROL Timeout waiting for DECterm controller
    to start.
    
    Has anyone seen this before or can anyone give any clues as to why this 
    is happening .
    
    Thanks in Advance

    P.S Rebooting the Workstation has no effect!

What's DECTSE?

In general you get the timeout error when there is a problem with logical
names and/or mailboxes: CREATE/TERMINAL thinks there is already a DECterm
controller, so it doesn't start a new one.  Normally rebooting should clear
this up.

As the user to get a DECterm log file by putting the following command in
her LOGIN.COM:

	$ define decw$decterm_output sys$login:decw$te.log
