[fa.info-vax] Hiccups revisited

Thanks to all who answered my previous flame.

The condition ''no disk quota'' can be taken to mean either ''no checks imposed
on creating files'' or ''cannot create *any* files''.  I took it to mean
the former.  I've since done the obvious thing with REBUILD and setting up
substantially immense quotas for all the extant UICs.

PHONE *is* installed with SYSNAM,PRMMBX,WORLD,OPER,and NETMBX as required.
Still doesn't work.  This is a 785 running 4.0, soon to be 4.1 [our upgrade
kit finally showed up...]  Next step is customer support, I suppose... Unless
anyone else has an idea?

I forwarded the problem with MAIL and pagelength 0 to DSIN.

Now, is anyone running Wollongong TCP [some of you *must* be]?  I have
banged into a few real neato nasties with it.  The most serious one is that
if you have virtual terminals turned on, incoming network connections that 
exit leave a dead NTY device sitting around.  OPENing and CLOSEing it in DCL
will make it go away.  But if you $brdcst [$brkthru, whatever] to that dead
NTY, your system promptly crashes.  Also, their new mailer is a piece of *junk*
and insists that I'm on a DECNET host, which I'm not.  [ie it puts .DECNET
in the domain name instead of .ARPA, which breaks everyone's REPLY command.]
And there are numerous other little problems too random to mention here.
This is IP/TCP version 2.1 [the only one that runs under 4.x].  Anyone
manage to fix/work around all the lossage?
