2622.0. "HUBLOADER+DEPEA = NO TFTP" by PTOJJD::DANZAK (Pittsburgher �) Wed Aug 09 1995 00:29

    I recently tried to use the HUBLOADER to upgrade a ROAMABOUT access
    point.  I tried for about 3 hours on Friday and 4 on Saturday to get
    the *#($#$(#(*#( access points to load.
    
    My configuration was a DECpc433SL with the DEPEA adapter.
    
    I decided, just for fun, to try an existing ROAMABOUT access point to
    connect in lieu of the DEPEA.  
    
    It WORKED immediately!
    
    The moral of this story - the DEPEA acted weird with HUBLOADER and
    WOULD NOT do a TFTP load.
    
    Also...note that modules with connects on the front (i.e. like the
    access point) have only one 'engine' to talk with an RS232 terminal. 
    If they are plugged into a hub they may not talk out the front.  So,
    use the module stand alone if it appears dead.  Also it may want to see
    more than RX and TX...i.e. DSR or some other signal.
    
    (sigh) AFTER FINALLY getting them upgraded!

2622.1DEPAEA ... same problemNCMAIL::SCHEIDWed Aug 09 1995 22:0911
    
    John,
    
    	I experienced a similar problem with a DEPEA on DECpc 425sl running 
    DECndu  awhile ago ... I tried using a Pocket Xircom adapter and it
    worked fine... I talked with one of the PCs techs and he said my PC was
    really a AST and had heard of "strange" things occuring with the
    paralell port ... I never tried to get it to work much after that ...

2622.3Cette bete - 433 - merde - That beast DECpc433 - chitPTOJJD::DANZAKPittsburgher �Sat Aug 12 1995 01:3426
    Parce-que j'ai les ordinateur tres vieux - cette DECpc 433SLc - un de
    la famile de AST ordinateurs qui nous n'aime pas pour service. (Il-y-a
    quatre semaine pour service de cette bete!!!!!)  Et le DEPEA - zut
    alors - il ne marce pas avec NDU pour une Gigaswitch.  J'ai travaille
    sept heurs dans un petite boix (place d'equipment) dans les imeuble
    (bureau) de un client et j'ai conduire trois heurs...et il ne marche
    pas.....
    
    je n'aime pas les vieux produice de cette companie (i.e. DECpc433...)
    
    Plait de donne mois cette additional "Highnote Ultra"...merci mille
    fois. (sourire)

    Because my computer is an old DECpc 433 - one of the family of "AST"
    PCs which we don't like to service....(it was 4 weeks to service the
    damn thing).  And the Depea - hell - i never got it to work with NDU
    for a Gigaswitch.  I worked 7 hours in a little equipment closet at the
    clients office and drove three hours to get there..a.nd the damn thing
    never worked.
    
    I don't like our older porducts of Digital (i.e. DECPC433)
    
    ----
    So please, give me that extra Highnote Ultra that you have...(grin)
