If he wishes to only reach OUT from the VAX to those ports, he should SET TERM/notype_ahead That will prevent the VAX from trying to create a process running loginout. DEC claims that it's the only way. Unfortunately it might also damage KERMIT's use of the line. To get around that, you could modify KERMIT's code (or maybe it already does this for you) to set the line to TYPE_AHEAD with a QIO set characteristics call. We do this for pdp11's running micropower pascal talking to a microvax. If he's also trying to allow incoming access to those ports, this answer will not work. -- dick seymour seymour@uwaphast.bitnet
