4945.0. "Curious VT520 Wait State problem,any ideas ?" by SEDTMA::HANCOCK (Use what you (used to) sell) Tue Feb 04 1997 10:38

	Hi,
		can anyone advise me on how to go about troubleshooting
	this little scenario.

	VT520 terminals connected to DECservers,700 and 900. Users log in
	multiple times to several systems,using multisessions.One particular
	application (a DECforms application) gives a problem whereby,if the
	screen is refreshing,and the user flicks forward a session whilst
	the screen is updating,when they come back to that session ,the 
	VT520 goes into a wait state,and cannot be released.They either have
	to power the thing right off,or go back to the good session,log it 
	out,and flip back to the "hung" session and ^R it to bring it back
	to life.

	Any ideas where the problem might lie,or where to start looking ?

	VMS is at 6.2,Servers are at current shipping images..

	Cross Posted in TERMINALS,TERMINAL_SERVERS,LAT,and DECFORMS

4945.1Firmware version ?KERNEL::FREKESLike a thief in the nightTue Feb 11 1997 16:5913
    Mick
    
    What version of firmware are the VT520's running. I have had to raise
    two IPMT's for customers in the UK with a similiar issue. It all seems
    to be around use with multisessions. The version of firmware they were
    on was V2.2, I think. 
    
    In the end we had new cartridges, sent over, and I believe that this
    has fixed the problem.
