My recollection...from about a decade ago when I last had MicroVaxes...is that there were no duplex settings on the Thinwire/10-Base-T transceivers, but that we set the network switches to full-duplex. Yes, there *is* a difference: you can run either half-duplex or full-duplex over 10-Base-T (and other twisted pair), but if the two ends don't match, there are difficult to trace communications problems (that is, you don't get a hard failure, just poor response with a lot of retries, or similar). -Ken ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:49:21 -0700 From: Marty Kuhrt Subject: cURL 7.18.2 now available Message-ID: cURL 7.18.2 is now available for VMS.

Well, that's a matter of opinion. Before Unix I used to use PRIMOS and it takes the same view as VMS. I was happy with that view for years.

Judging from some notes I left on DECUServe in the early 90s, my solution was to run a program at boot time to make the connections to the application ports. Then the application programs (such as PIP) could connect the the LAT application ports transparently. This program just needs to do a QIO IO.ORG for each application port.

Why do you think Comcast backed down on crippling BitTorrent protocol ? BitTorrent Corp (who legally sells movies and other contents for a fee) lawyers started to talk to Comcast about exactly that.

I think you had better assume that the disk drive is a total loss! Once the media is damaged, the damage tends to avalanche! (That LOUD scraping sound!!) I hope you have a recent backup! There is a good chance that you may be able to find a replacement drive of equal or greater size. I'd ask David B. Turner, a dealer who hangs out here about availability of such things. If he doesn't have them in stock, he should know where to find them. If RF series disks are no longer available, you should consider buying a SCSI Host Bus Adapter (HBA). Migrating your application to another platform will almost certainly cost you far more than replacing the disk or buying a SCSI disk and HBA. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2008 18:12:06 -0400 From: "Richard B.

This does not surprise me in the least since there is no user NAGARAJ in my UAF. When I run it with a username that exists in my UAF, it fails with an ACCVIO. I hope this provides you with a clue! I will leave further debugging as a exercise for the student. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:44:34 -0400 From: John Reagan Subject: Re: VMS layered products paper documentation updates problem ?
