Generally when this error occurs when using just plain DECnet to deliver a message, it's an indication that the remote server process did not respond within a timeout period. There are a couple of VAXen on our own internal network with tremendous loads on them during the day, and the "network partner exited" error is a frequent occurance. The solution for this problem (again in the case of DECnet) is to increase the Outgoing Timer and the Incoming Timer with NCP. I do not know for sure, but your RSCS server process may not be responding quickly enough. Is your system load high enough where this might be a problem? gkn ------------------------------ Arpa: GKN%OAK.SAInet@LLL-MFE USPS: Gerard K. Newman Science Applications P.O.
