When users paste long segments of text from one Mac application into a Telnet window open to a VAX, the VAX regularly loses portions of the text. I traced this to improper coordination between NTYDRIVER and TTDRIVER in VMS, and reported the problem to Wollongong. TTDRIVER tries to xoff NTYDRIVER, but NTYDRIVER ignores the request, throwing down characters while TTDRIVER catches its breath. When I called Wollongong's technical support, the guy I talked to mumbled something about "oh that problem...review committee...mumble-mumble-mum..", but that was 6 months ago. Does anyone know if a patch exists for this? I apologize if I'm bringing up old news, but I've still got the bug, and I'm not getting any younger... Thanks from this poor, stranded luser in VMS-land!
