I would like to know what amount of buffering or flow control is done
when using DECserver 90Ms and TCP/IP.
My concern is with loss of console data when you get a temporary "link
down" state. Will the console just lose its output, will an XOFF
get sent to the console, or will the terminal server do some buffering
that gets flushed to PCM when it re-connects ?
This is less of an issue on a reliable LAN but over a WAN it might be
a bigger problem.
Thank you,
Peter.

This question is probably better suited for the terminal servers
conference. From the question it appears that you know that PCM won't
be able to do anything as the link is down (so how could it send an
XOff). More than likely console data will be lost into the bit bucket.
Regs,
