Arr, the 90TL is a 'real' server that's essentially a condensed
DECserver700-16 which talks LAT/TELNET/3270 etc. The 90l+ was purely a
reduced cost LAT server with many limitations, but for a low volume office
it was perfect.
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 :)
:) Yes. I first downloaded the manual for the 90TL and then checked
the front again... Bummer! Mmmmm. Real hardware. The Alphas were next on the
list. I just needed
something to put the serial consoles into! :)
You've got a VT to get them running, but bear in mind the 90L+ doesn't do
'reverse' connections for consoles - you need a TL for that which will let
you set up telnet listeners on each port. All you can do with the L+ is
create LAT sessions TO an alpha, not the other way round.
