I'm seeking help with a DEUNA - XEDRIVER problem.
Basically, our lab is trying to interface a VAX running VMS with
some instruments running a third-party application level Ethernet
protocol. I can get VMS to start an XE device for me with the
appropriate buffer size, but when I issue a $QIO for a READLBLOCK
function, it queues but never completes. I have tried setting
promiscuous mode to ensure that I haven't misread the third-party
protocol type specification, and it doesn't help. In fact, when
I do this even from a non-privileged account, I don't get a
no-privilege error, leading me to believe that I'm not really
starting the device correctly. If anyone can mail me pointers,
advice, or suggestions, I would appreciate it.
BTW, I will gladly accept "RTFM" as useful advice, but only
if it is accompanied by the title of the appropriate manual. I
have not yet found a useful one in our VMS set.
