Greetings! I am hoping to find someone who can answer my question concerning point-to-point DDCMP communications thru serial port tta0. I am attempting to do this between a 3100 running VMS and a MV2000 running Ultrix 4.2. The VMS node easily accomplishes this , but have had difficulty finding the proper config for the Ultrix node. The docs say that DECNET/Ultrix requires a DMV11 or Thin-Net Ethernet device to implement DDCMP point-to-point connection. I am hoping that someone can tell me how to set up a tty pseudo-device as a block device and use 'ncp' to open a line for DDCMP comms. So far , have been unable to find the Ultrix driver to do this thru a direct serial port connect. Anybody out there pulled this off? Thanks in advance, Mojo :

DECnet-ULTRIX does not have an asynchronous DDCMP driver - that is, there is NO software on the ULTRIX side that will talk to the VMS serial port. Sorry to say, but there's no way to make this work without very significant effort. -Rick -- Rick Murphy, WA1SPT/4 DEC Washington ULTRIX Resource Center Domain: murphy@burfle.dco.dec.com -or- murphy@ufp.enet.dec.com Bang: decwrl!ufp.enet!murphy Ding: (301) 306-2985 Disclaimer: This nonsense came from an AI program written in TECO.
