Has anyone ran into the following problem, or have any ideas relating
to it.
We have an application that is running inconsistently: the program will
send a character string down to the graphics terminal and expect a
specific character string back. Often times, this character string comes
back garbaged. The terminal should receive/respond with the same character
string every time.
Our system is an 8700 accessed through Decserver 200/MC terminal servers.
We can also access it through hardline to the VMZ32 or DMB32 boards. We get
the following results:
Decserver ---> 8700 = Application works intermittently
VMZ32 ---> 8700 = Application works intermittently
DMB32 ---> 8700 = Application works every time
To those of you with 8700's, have you run into anything like this, or
ANY unusual problems (especially communication) with the 8700 and the
BI bus.
We have encountered no problems with this application on MicroVaxes and 780's.
