I am using an Excelan (exlax?) TCP/IP board on a VMS machine running version 5. I have had considerable success with the board (in getting it to do what I think it should do), but am running into some problems. I am looking for some help. The specific problem is that I am running out of TCP buffers after a number of refused connections. Is there anyway to free the buffers tied up for the failed connections? The problem goes away when I stop the program (I wrote) and re- start the process, so I believe the buffers are only tied up because they are allocated to my process. It is not a system wide problem unless my process has tied them up. Ed Lewis (elewis@palantir.gsfc.nasa.gov) P.S. In case it matters the machine is a VAX 8600. P.P.S. The only manual I have is for the microVax. Hmm, maybe that's the problem.
