I need to connect a UNIX system (System 5, v3.x) to a VAX750. I have been successfull in comunicating from UNIX to VMS via 'cu'. But how can I connect from the VAX to the UNIX machine?? If you have any hints - or even the answer please let me know. UUCP: ...!cernvax!asfour Mail: Andy A. Asfour, Switzerland

If you have VMS V4.0 or later, you can use SET HOST/DTE. Let's say the line from the VMS system to the UNIX system is VMS line TTA0. Then (if you want non-privileged users to be able to do this too), SET PROT=(W:RWLP)/DEV TTA0: SET TERM TTA0:/PERM/SPEED=####/whatever-else-you-need and put this in your systartup for future boots. Then to use the line, just say SET HOST/DTE TTA0: If you don't have VMS4, you can do this with VMS-Kermit, a widely available file transfer program. You'll want to get Kermit for your UNIX system also, to have a nice way to transfer files.

I believe that you will have to set the outgoing port on the VMS machine to NOTYPEAHEAD so that it will not allow logins and you may want to set the ALTYPEAHEAD to allow buffering on the VMS end.
