[aus.comms] problems with X25 communication and MDX150 board

jdb@arp.anu.oz.au (John Barlow) (10/09/89)

I am mailing this for some friends who do not have access to USENET news.
Hopefully they will soon.

SYSTEM:
Sequent Symmetry S27 with 4 cpu's and 32 Meg memory running DYNIX 3.0.12
Morining Star SCC board {working through a}
Timeplex NP500 (X25 switch) {at 64 K baud, then into a}
Scitec MDX150 {which is believed to be a rebadged "penryl" product (?)}

PROBLEMS:
1) Morning star board reports:

	"MST0: timeout"  on the console
	"IOXLST: not owner" in the x25 log file

   this occurs after somebody has connected via x25.

2) the pad command won't allow outgoing calls:

	"incorrect calling address length"

   even though they specify 14 digits.

3) They need several remote printers and terminals hanging off the MDX150.
   How do they set up the /etc/printcap, x25.actions, and other required files
   ?

Thanks for your time,  John Barlow.
