Message-ID: <8612062059.AA00719@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: Sat, 6-Dec-86 16:01:54 EST Article-I.D.: ucbvax.8612062059.AA00719 Posted: Sat Dec 6 16:01:54 1986 Date-Received: Sat, 6-Dec-86 20:40:54 EST Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The ARPA Internet Lines: 19 Approved: info-vax@sri-kl.arpa After connecting up a couple of LN03+s off terminal lines on a DMF32 and a DMZ32 as spooled devices, we're seeing this for moderately large files (over 100 blocks) spooled to them: %PSM-E-WRITEERR, error writing _TXB5: -SYSTEM-F-TIMEOUT, device timeout Which is perhaps due to timeout in either the print symbiont or terminal line handler? We are using XON/XOFF flow control, and I've tried slowing the things down from 9600bps, but to no apparent effect. Any suggestions? Perhaps some obscure SYSGEN parameter? Or, could this possibly be a VMS4.3 bug of some kind? Bob Cunningham, Hawaii Institute of Geophysics cunninghamr%haw.sdscnet@LLL-MFE.ARPA
