[mod.computers.vax] May VAX/VMS Systems Dispatch: set host/dte/dial for df112

daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU (The devil himself) (05/12/86)

Since somebody else's SPR got strange results, I'll try this way: 

In the May VAX/VMS Systems Dispatch, on Page 65, is a response that claims to
address the problem of SET HOST/DTE/DIAL support for DEC's DF112 modems.  The
response says that "As of VAX/VMS Version 4.2, SET HOST/DTE/DIAL supports the
DF112."  This is labeled "Seq. 56.80.8".  Well, I tried it under 4.3 and got
the usual, expected: 

$ set host /dte/dial=(number:xxxxx#,modem:df112) txa1:
%LIB-E-ACTIMAGE, error activating image DUA0:[SYS0.][SYSLIB]DTE_DF112.EXE;
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
%RMS-E-FNF, file not found

The Response indicates that it is a documentation problem to be corrected in a
future release after 4.2, and that the functionality should be there in 4.2.  I
find neither documentation nor function in 4.3.

Has anybody else tried it to see whether they really do support it?  I can't
find that dialer image lying about anywhere, waiting to be installed.  If
someone could tell me where to look...  Thanks for your help.
