[mod.computers.vax] DECnet question

MIGLESIAS@UCIVMS.BITNET (01/14/86)

We are trying to connect two VMS systems with DECnet via terminal
lines, and are having trouble getting the systems to talk to
each other.  Here is some information:

        VMSA is a 785, running VMS 4.1, node address 63.1
        PS51 is a 750, running VMS 4.2, node address 1.2

Both systems are defined as area routers.  VMSA is connected to
another system via a CI DECnet link, and PS51 is Ethernetted to two
other 750s and a uvax I.

The terminal lines are set to 1200 baud (for testing).  Hooking a
breakout box into the line and looking at the data with a terminal,
I can see both systems sending START messages, but only VMSA is
sending START ACKs.  I haven't looked at the data at PS51's end
(it's in another building), just at VMSA's end.

If any of you DECnet wizards out there have any advice on how to get
this working, we'd appreciate hearing from you!
