[mod.computers.vax] decserver username> prompt

SYSMSH@ULKYVX.BITNET.UUCP (03/04/87)

I'm in the process of replacing a bunch of dmz and dmf ports with decserver
200's.  I'd like to make the change as transparent as possible to the user
base while enabling the features of the decserver for the more experienced
users.  I've gotten pretty close with setting the preferred service and
autoconnect parameters but the server still wants to see a user name.  The
users see this as a redundant question, why should they enter their user
name twice.....

Has anyone gone into the PR801ENG.SYS file and patched out the subroutine
that asks for the username?  I really have no need for that function at
all.

One last item; has anyone noticed that on a DECserver-200 with modem control
enabled, if a user "locks" a port it stays locked even though carrier
is dropped?  My feeling is the lock should disappear....maybe this is a
bug.
