--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been a LONG time user of flop/ssu.

i use watn to connect my vaxstation 2k running vms 5.5
with decwindows xui.
(btw,, the only thing i dont like about decwindows, is the mouse button
3 for paste, and when i'm at work mb2 on motif :-( if someone has 
worked around this, i'd be happy to hear also)..

once logged into watn i connect to netway, and then to my workstation on
my desk at work, and run ssu to open my multiple windows.


like i said that works fine, but now i have tried to connect to a 
decserver at a digital facilty local to my home, and cant seem to get the
flop/ssu to connect properly. i'm quite sure its somthing to do with
the decserver port characteristics, and tried many things, without success.
so i thought i'd drop this note and see if someone else can give me advise
or check their port characteristics next time you log in.

the symtom is, when i execute my ssu on my server node,
"$SSU.EXE -NOLOGOUT -LOGINOTHERS -NODISABLE"

i get a couple characters on the screen, then the window goes away, and
flop exits on my home machine...

   >ssu
   >AAJ!AAJ!AAJ  then right here the window goes out.

i'll show the decserver port characteristics, and then the watn port char...

thanks in advance for any help,

Jim
