441.0. "DECserver900 and TELNET OLTP" by LEMAN::CHEVAUX (Patrick Chevaux @GEO, DTN 821-4150) Tue Oct 19 1993 13:17

    Several questions from our potential customer (DHL Worldwide Services)
    
    - is TELNET OLTP supported in the DECserver900 ? (what the hell is
      TELNET OLTP ? ...)
    
    - does DEC have reference sites with DEChub900+DECbrouter90+DECserver900
      working with HP9800 hosts (under HP-UX) under TELNET ? 
    
    - Any known problems with printing Unix output on printers attached to 
      DECserver900 ?  
    
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Best regards.

    Who knows?  OLTP usually means On Line Tranaction Processing...

    There *can* be some problems.  These have solutions, and are discussed
    in detail in the TOOK::TERMINAL_SERVERS conference.  Basically, since
    Telnet does not have the sort of application layer protocol for
    printing that say, lpr/lpd does, you're better off running a "print
    filter" program on the host to deal with re-queueing print jobs on
    error, etc.  We supply a reference implementation of a print filter (as
    C-language source code) in the DECserver software kits  Refer to Note
    38 in TOOK::TERMINAL_SERVERS for a discussion of the print filter.
    
    Regards,

    Thanks for the effort Dave.
    
    Anyone else knows what TELNET OLTP is ? The account is a HP account
    (9000 800 series) and we are bidding for the network.
    
    Thanks
