I've connected our only DECserver-200, and I've noticed the output from some programs is very jerky (at 9600 baud). I've left most of the server parameters alone. Reducing the circuit timer from 80 to 40 ms does not help. The server is connected via DELNI to what must be the least-loaded ethernet cable in the world. Error counts are very low over a period of several weeks, so there is apparently no physical reason for this. There is no lost data as far as I can see. Connections made directly to the VAX (8600) do not show this symptom. Even SET HOST 0 several times, and running through several layers of DECnet doesn't produce the sort of output I'm seeing, so I'm reasonably sure it is LAT related. Any suggestions will be persued. Thanks as usual. Brent Sterner Computing & Communications Services Natural Sciences Building The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada N6A 5B7 Telephone (519)661-2151 x6036 Network
