I'm trying to run the CMU/Tektronix TCP/IP package (V6.3) on MicroVAXen
with DEQNAs.  On most of them it starts and runs fine.  However, on
a couple of them, the IPACP starts, and then exits right away with
"XE read error, RC=00000A00".

Going through the sources reveals that return code to be equivalent
to XM$M_STS_ACTIVE|XM$M_STS_TIMO.  The XM$M_STS_ACTIVE is OK; the
XM$M_STS_TIMO is what it is objecting to.

The I/O user's guide says that this return means something like "a
DEUNA/DEQNA timeout has occurred".  I'm not sure what that means, and
I can't find any further explaination.  What is timing out?  Is my
hardware broken?

Thanks,
--Pat.
