**** THE CONFIGURATION ****
We have a VAX 750 with a UDA50/RA81, a TU80, and 2 DMF-32s
that we have been running 4.1BSD on for a couple of months.
We are trying to add ABLE DH/DMs to the system, and having
some problems.
The DH/DM's appear to work just fine with CU and UUCP.
**** THE PROBLEM ****
When you try to login on one of the DH/DM ports,
1, login prompt shows up on the terminal,
2, You can type in the user ID.
3, the process hangs after you hit return.
On further investigation we have found that we are hung in
"login" at a "stty(0,TIOCSETP)".
It is possible to kill the "login" process, but the process
stays in a <exiting> state for a long time, (10-45 minutes).
**** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****
We are using version of the software
uda.c 1.3 82/08/21
dmf.c 4.3 82/05/27
dh.c 4.39 81/21/07
We cannot change to 4.2BSD because of the applications that we run.
We loaded the original distribution tape (4.1) and the problem exists
there
We have not tried loading 4.2 to see if it too has this problem,
though in comparing the 4.1 dh.c and the 4.2 dh.c we did not see
any major changes.
If anyone know some thing about this problem, please drop
me a line.
Thanks in advance

We have had similar problems with DEC dz's. Perhaps the problems
are related?? Ours don't like to hang up the modems. We can kill the
processes hung but as with the DH/DM problem it takes 10 - 15 minutes
to take effect.
Our hardware:
VAX 11/780
2 ABLE DH/DM's (we haven't had the problem with these)
4 DEC DZ's (only on lines connected to modems)
TU77 on TM03
2 Eagles on SI controller
1 RM03
1 COMTAL image processing system
1 Megatek 7000 series
1 Versatec V80
We had the problem under 4.1 and it continues with no change under 4.2.

we have had the same problem on pdp 11/44's running v7 & 2.9BSD
we are about to check out the able DH/DM under VMS ( this weekend )
we are trying to login over a sytek net, modems & a micom port selector
seem to work just fine.
could it be that the DH/DM drops DTR for a short time under some config
changes ( the problem seems to stem from the ioctl in getty which is
trying to set the terminal to the modes that login expects )
