[mod.computers.vax] DECSA problems.

RBrooks@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA.UUCP (03/02/87)

At another site on our network they have recently instituted area
routing under DECNET.  Now they frequently have problems trying to
CONNECT to DECSAs with NCP from non-area routing hosts on the Ethernet.
The error message is:

LINE COMMUNICATION ERROR - OPEN LINE ERROR

I'm sorry if the information about this problem is sparse.

We would however appreciate any speculation as to what could cause this
problem.  It appears to be rather sporadic (i.e.  they reproduce it
constantly but never at will.)

Thank you in advance.
