[mod.computers.vax] jnet/'network partner exited'

SYSMSH@ULKYVX.BITNET (01/10/86)

We started using jnet v1.2 as a link from our VAX-750 to an IBM
4341 running VM.  We had these "network partner exited" messages
also.  We field tested release 2.0 of jnet which stopped using
DECNET for mail delivery.  The problems went away!  I guess either
install vms 4.2 or try to get jnet v2.0.

We've since put the VAX-750 on our VAXcluster and have been running
jnet v2.0 over two dmf-32 sync interfaces.  One link is a 19.2kb
line to our IBM3081 and the other is a 2400 baud link to the
University of Kentucky's IBM3081.  We are very pleased with the
jnet package and use it quite a bit.  I recommend upgrading to
version 2.0 though.  Version 2.0 also has an interface for ALL-IN-1
to IBM's 'PROFS' which we use quite heavily since we don't want to
log on to the IBM.
