Thanks to all who replied. I have received several replies and most of them suggest to look at implementation of TELL. What i've found out in the meantime is that the READ/WRITE on both sides helps. In other words after Ultrix side writes, VMS needs to read and subsequently write back (even some dummy string) which Ultrix reads and the cycle repeats till the end. I found that out by accident and out of desperation. What is interesting though is that the write from the VMS side does not need to immediately follow the read in order for read to succeed. I guess the key is that the Ultrix side now waits with its read before issuing another write or closing the socket and thus VMS can keep up and not receive the EOF on some read. ---dubravko
