I am writing an SMTP-server for VAX/VMS (PMDF) that can receive incomming SMTP connections from TOPS-20/MM over DECnet. MM tries to connect to object 125 for SMTP when mailing to a VMS-system, and if that fails uses mail-11. The problem is that MM sends the message as one single DECnet packet, and my QIO' buffer overflows with DATAOVERRUN if the message is larger than the buffer. How shall I do to read from the DECnet-channel less than a full packet..? Cheers, Matts Kallioniemi <MATTS@SEQZ51.BITNET> KOMunity Software AB, Stockholm, Sweden

The only answers I got to my query a few weeks ago about how to read
from a DECnet channel when the messages can be infinitely large, told
me that it's impossible..!
If a DEC-20 can write it, then surely a VAX should be able to read it.
Do I have to write my own DECnet device driver, or what? It doesn't
sound too amusing..
