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.

From: John_Aronsson_QZ%QZCOM.MAILNET@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA 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. /John Aronsson.
