I've done it before on VAX's. No can do. Asynch DECnet is not supported on Alpha OpenVMS. A cheap alternative would be to get a DECserver 200 (available for about $50US used) for each end of the connection. Create an LTA port for reverse-LAT as you would a printer, and create a circuit and line under NCP. The NCP names for these devices are LTA-x for LAT device names of LTAx. Hope this helps. -- Mark Levy, Computer Consultant OpenVMS, MS-Windows, MAC/OS, Networks System Management Associates, Inc. LEVY.M@ACM.ORG
