we just recieved a compaq computer that is running ibm pc-dos 3.0.
i have kermit up and running successfully. the compaq is connected
to a 780 vax running 4.2bsd. it seemed to me that i should be able
to utter
ctty com1
on the compaq and then on the vax use the tip program to connect
to the line that is connected to the compaq and issue commands to
the compaq from the vax. i disabled logins on the vax side of the
line, i changed the mode of the tty line to be read/write by
everyone, and i set up a proper line in /etc/remote for tip. but
after all this it doesn't work.
does anyone have any suggestions as to what i'm doing wrong or
what else i need to do?
please reply by mail as i don't get to read this newsgroup very
often. thanks.
