I was hoping that I didn't require a VMS box.
Putting together a box
to run VMS is on my todo list. Just not in the short term future. I
guess I should get the aphas powered up to see if the same thing can
be done with Tru64 or if it is only something supported by VMS.
You can do it from Tru64 if you're running DECnet/OSI but I've not tried
that for many many years. Pity it's not a 90TL you've got because they have
a reset button on the front, simples :)
The reason you
might not be getting output on the VT is because you can
dedicate each port to a particular LAT session which is why you're seeing
requests for a service name.
Or that the terminal lines are configured off.
You can't turn them off, just assign them a LAT service name. Or set them as
printers of course.
Many thanks. I have somewhere to start from now.
Get an Alpha running, you know you want to ;)
