The implementation of DECnet on Ultrix is prone to sync errors - The Ultirx DECnet NNTP connection was investigated by Leonard Pierce (as I remember) about 12 months ago, and the trick used then was to include IO$M_MULTIPLE on the channel READ QIO's on the VMS side. Oddly enough I have not been informed of any problems with connecting to Ultrix using TCP as the transport - it's only DECnet which gives problems. Geoff Huston
