An Xterm tries to telnet over to a 3B2/600 host running SVR3.2.1 and WIN/TCP 3.0 - as soon as a connection is made, it is then dropped (apparently) by the host with the following error message: "Connection closed by foreign host" Is there something that needs to be done to hosts, networks, services, etc. that I am just completely ignorant about. RTFM? Which FM? This enigma was posted to comp.sys.att so if any of you know what's happening, a crossposted reply to that group might be appreciated by those who shared my problem. \\Lee thx1138@nyu.edu

The cause of the problem I mentioned a while back is apparently due to the fact that there are no /dev/ttyp[0-n] entries on the 3B2! (Yes, its now painfully obvious) Does anyone out there know what the major and minor node numbers should be for a 3B2/600 running 3.2.1 and Wollongong 3.0 TCP/IP? Better yet, is there some way that I can create these in an automated fashion? I should know enough to RTFM, but in this case TFMs are long gone...

I don't remember the major/minor node numbers, but I *do* remember
that 3.0 was incredibly bug-ridden. I'd suggest that you upgrade to
3.0.1, or 3.1, if it's available now.
I faced a significant number of intermittent TCP/IP problems with 3.0,
ranging from the annoying to the destructive.
