Note 423.0 Problems sending break with PCM V1.5 No replies
CSC32::J_WIELAND 20 lines 4-OCT-1994 20:26
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear PCM readers,
I have a customer running PCM V1.5 on an ultrix V4.3 system. His connection
to his systems is thru a DS100 (obviously LAT).. He really likes the new
prompting that is done when sending a break signal using ^P, but it doesn
seem to work. What does work is if he redefines the break to so something
like ^X, and then connects, does a ^X and the system halts. BUT... with
^X, there is no prompting or turning back after the ^X is hit...
Does anyone have an idea why his ^P does not send a break, but defining a
^X does? He would really like to use ^P with the prompting function...
The systems he has connected to the ds100 are a 6310, 6420, and 6610.
Thanks in advance for any insite into this problem.

| 423.1 | Hmm I shall look into this. | OPG::SIMON | Wed Oct 05 1994 10:14 | 18 | |
John,
I shall look into this.
A couple of things though. Firstly we do not actually support the DECserver 100
as the LAT server. They do have limitations such as buffering which can cause
problems, although I do not see why this should occur. I will not be able to try
to reproduce the problem on a DS100 as we don't have any. If I can reproduce it
with other servers we will look into getting a fix, but if not the customer will
have to try to reproduce on a supported config. Secondly the ULTRIX version you
quote is also below the minimum supported version., again I will be testing on a
supported version and the same comment as above applies.
Also get the customer to instal the ECO 1 patch kit. Some work was done on
control key functions within the Connect/Monitor interface.
I shall be in touch ASAP.
Cheers Simon...

John,
I put a DECserver 200 LAT connection onto PCM V1.5 wuith the ECO patch
applied. Results as follows:
Break from Connect (default Break Key):
Message displayed and break transmitted if Y response given.
Break from Monitor:
Type break at commanfd prompt message displayed and break transmitted if Y
response given.
Break from Connect (ctrl_x as Break Key):
Message displayed and break transmitted if Y response given.
None of my tests showed the errors you saw.
Cheers SImon...
