Ultrix has as an optional product DECnet/Ultrix which has gateway software to link DECnet and TCP/IP. You can telnet to "gate" and when you get username: type "DECnet-node::" as the name. The gateway then connects you to the decnet node and does the protocol conversion. Our problem is instead of getting a 230 status for correct login, we get 231 when we use the gateway. This doesn't seem to bother most TCP/IP systems but it does bother a Tandem. They will fix it but I want to know a couple of things. 1: Is 231 a legal response. 2: If not does anybody know if DEC has anyother nonstandard statuses I should have them watch out for.
