Is anyone running TSSnet? It is a program which enables a Macintosh to emulate DECnet and communicate with a VAX. We have had a problem with this product for the last 3 1/2 months, since upgrading our VAX to VMS V5.2, and have not had any joy from the New Zealand agent for this product. The problem is that the Mac crashes when an attempt is made to copy files between it and the VAX, when the tranfer is initiated from the VAX. We are running TSSnet V1.2. I would appreciate hearing from anyone else who is running this product, or any other products which provide similar functionality. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin D.

I just installed TSSnet on my mac here. 1.2 is at least two releases old. I installed v1.3 and Alisa announced and shipped TSSnet 2.0 about a month ago. We have had no Mac crash problems here. We also use Alisashare here, and have had very good results with both products. -- Seton Droppers -- "Anything that I say is my opinion and not my employer's."

We are running the same version under a Mac II with the original NuBus card, running 6.0.4 US Version. > I would appreciate hearing from anyone else who is running this product, or Problems I encountered are : Incompatibility with some cdevs on the Mac. Mine is running Decnet, TCP/IP, EthertalkI, EthertalkII and TOPS. Gives rise to some problems with older versions of SuperClock, some security cdevs, all kind of appletalk-affecting inits, and some fkeys. Wrong setting of circuits, buffers, etc. on the MAC executor side. Have heard of IICi running into trouble, and other cards don't seem to run smoothly. Try to reset the ethernet board (there is a utility provides by TSSNET). Try to run TCP/IP and see whether the ethernet connection is fine. Use decnet tests to check functionality of the listeners: ncp> tell mac show exec status should work. Maybe this is of some help. regards Reinhard ************************************************************************ Dr. Reinhard Doelz * EAN doelz@urz.unibas.ch Biocomputing * DECNET 48130::doelz Biozentrum der Universitaet * X25 psi%46211142::embnet Klingelbergstrasse 70 * FAX x41 61 256760 CH 4056 Basel * TEL x41 61 253880 ext 888 ************************************************************************
