First: If Typeahead is enabled, login/out will try to log the device connected to the port in (if it types anything). Try set /notypeahead then allocate, then /typeahead... Second: Set host /dte mumble is wonderfull if going dec OS to dec OS "hardwired". Unfortunately, EVERY character going out gets preceeded by a ^Q..... (It doesn't if you write your own )... Connect anything to the port, other than another DEC machine and OS, and all bets are off.. I tried using this with our terminal switch and got no where, because the switch thought the ^Q's were part of the destination name. Probably your modem thought they were part of the number... Will DEC ever fix this one to be useful?? Will DEC ever provide an easy way to disable logins on a particular port (ala RSX set /slave:ttn:)??? Only time will tell (and sugestions from us, the users..) Al Baldwin AT&T-Bell Labs ...!ihnp4!hou2d!afb3 [These opinions are my own....Who else would want them!!!]
