You indicated that you had an X.25 link from your 780 to the university network. Is the 11/44 connected as well and are you running PSI on the VAX?? If so, why not run SYS$SYSTEM:PSIPAD? That program is similar to the DECNET RTPAD which is run when you SET HOST to another system. PSIPAD will prompt you for a command which could change PAD parameters, attach to a remote system or perform a few other actions. We are using PSI to connect a 780 running VMS to a Multics system (the one I am composing the message from) and it works ok. The PSI software only supports the DTE side of an X.25 connection so our Multics system acts as the DCE (the "network"). It seems to run pretty efficiently too. A final note, the VAX to Multics connection seems to always work ok. The Multics to VAX connection has a number of "quirks" with echoing, especially with running EMACS on the VAX. I don't know if this is a generic problem, but you might want to know. --Mark Johnson
