I telnet to sgi machines (IRIX 3.2) from a vax (VMS 4.5) running
win/tcp (3.2) software.
A SEVERE problem is WHATEVER I map to intr causes
an irrecoverable lockup of win/tcp. The only thing I can do
is log into another port on the vax and kill the process to
free things up. Here is my current stty line in .login.
stty line 1 erase '^H' kill '^U' intr '^C' echoe
^^^^^^^^^
the problem
Has anybody seen/solved this annoying problem?
Please reply directly to me, I requested a subscription last
week, but nothing has come through yet.
Thanks, John

I had never seen it before, as I usually telnet to the VAX from an SGI machine. However, to see if I could reproduce what you have done, I did an rlogin to VMS 5.1-1, then telnet'ed to IRIX 3.2 -- Anytime I did an intr (no matter what key I mapped it to) telnet locked up. I also tried telnet'ing to IRIX 3.1D and the same thing happened. I can't tell what version of WIN/TCP we are running on the VAX (I think its 5.0?) Have you tried anything with the -o option on the WIN/TCP telnet command? The manual says you can set the remote interrupt to something other than ^C, or override this by using a "big number" as the parameter. I couldn't figure this out easily. Also, if I first rlogin to the VAX then telnet back to the SGI machine, I can use the tilde-period (~.) abort sequence which also kills the VAX process. Just thought I'd let you know that Wollongong hasn't singled you out. I would think that a problem of this nature is probably something we are doing and not a bug in their software. Let me know if you hear anything more.
