A while back someone mentioned that the CMU-TEK TCP/IP implementation for the VAX/VMS machines has real problems communicating with HP-UX TCP/IP. The error, as described in the patch was: $ ! This patch removes the CMU-TEK inactivty probe as the packet sent $ ! causes HP-UX based systems to reset the connection upon receiveing $ ! this packet. This is NOT a problem in CMU-TEK but at best an example of $ ! different interpretations of the standards involved and at worst a $ ! bug in the HP-UX implementation. Indeed, this patch needed to be applied, as the session would immediately be terminated at the first inactivity probe. However, the sessions will still automatically log out from time to time. Could someone at HP Networking shed some light on this for me? ********************************************************************* Tony Burzio * A uVAXstation 2000 makes a great planter...

I looked at my listings for the 800 series and it looks like it doesn't have this problem. (Or maybe it's just my ignorance, and it's there and I just didn't see it...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unless explicitly stated otherwise, opinions expressed above are my own and do not explicitly reflect those of the Hewlett-Packard Company or any other person or entity. collin park Hewlett-Packard Company collin%hpda@hplabs.hp.com 19420 Homestead Road -- MS 43LT Cupertino, CA 95014 USA
