[fa.info-vax] DECNET question concerning mailboxes

From: Contr23 <CONTR23@NOSC-TECR>




     We currently have two VAX 11/780 connected via  DECNET.
I  have  two application programs running on both nodes that
communicate through mailboxes.  That is  at  least  what  is
intended.   Two permanent mailboxes have been created, on on
each node.  The problem is that I  have  not  been  able  to
write to write to the other node's mailbox.  The application
program is written in Ada(Telesoft 1.5).  The mailboxes have
been  created from a VMS macro routine.  I have attempted to
use "NET:", however, without any successs.

     Suggestions or solutions would  be  most  helpful.   We
have just installed DECNET and our VAX staff has not had too
much experience with its applications.

There are some problems with mailbox communication via DEC-NET.
One of them (I think) is that you can't both read and write to
the same mailbox. If that's what you do, with communicate
one-way-only.
