871.0. "NT RAS X.28 connectivity ..." by HGOVC::XFMV01::KETAN () Tue Feb 11 1997 05:28

Hi,

I am facing problems connecting two WinNT 3.51 servers over RAS using 
dialup X.28 lines for a customer. I need to run PPP (TCP/IP, NetBEUI) over 
the established connection to make MS Exchange Servers running on the two 
machines talk to each other.

The RAS at both the ends have been configured with "null modem", to connect 
to X.28 equipment, these being one of the following : Micro Earth Station
connected to a VSAT dish antenna, PAD or X.28 modem; the output of all three 
is X.28 through RS232 ports. The X.121 address of the RAS server is being 
dialed manually at the client end. The connection is established as per the 
messages received at the dialing end, but the RAS server at the receiving 
end of the call registers "hardware failure" and "line non-operational" 
status on the connected port, and the connection is dropped.

Am I missing out on something; not doing this the right way?
Is there any other way of doing this?

Any pointers on this would be of great help.             


Thanks and regards,

Ketan
