[comp.os.vms] Another DECserver problem

oberman@LLL-ICDC.ARPA ("Oberman, Kevin") (04/24/87)

Here's another problem with DECservers.

We have a port on a DECserver 100 connected to an async port on an NBI word
processor. When transfering data from the NBI to a VAX over the DECserver
the NBI is too slow responding to XOFF and we get a data overrun. This,
of course, causes the transfer to fail. No problem in the other direction.

We have tried setting the circuit timer down to 40 ms. on a recommendation
from Colorado Springs, but that didn't help. We slowed the line speed from
9600 to 2400 baud. No improvement.

Any ideas?
