Just a quick note: we also had trouble getting asynchrounous decnet (decnet through a terminal line) up and running. Ours had multiplexers and leased phone lines in the way to make it more interesting. What finally made it "come alive" was switching the vax/750 end of the wire from a DZ-11 port (TTxx) to a DMF port (TXxx). After a period of confusion, you may also have to SET TERM/PROTO=NONE and SET HOST/DTE link-line: on both ends to let the bytes flush out. garry wiegand garry@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu PS - DEC should consider building error messages into DECnet someday :-)
