804.0. "overruns/2100/ds700" by CSC32::PITT () Tue Jun 13 1995 03:33

    
    
    
    1.6 pcm. 
    Several 2100s running OSF being managed by pcm using telnet. 
    
    TONS of data overruns when the OSF box is rebooted or he uses the
    PG command on the OSF box,
    
    From the customer:
    
    "When we use the pg pager in OSF/1 on a reverse telnet connection.  As
    soon
    as you get a screen of data, the colon from the pg program clears the
    screen and then decterm screws up, echo's a bunch of control-G's
    
    We turned off the port break characteristics.  That seems to make a
    difference on 1 port.  We tried another.  That fixed the pg problem.
    
    After setting port disable break:
    Now we reboot the workstations & the polycenter session hangs up, the
    telnet session drops,  This will not do"
    
    This only happens on a console connection thry the decserver700. 
    Server is set to xon/xoff flow control. bc16e cable between the
    console port on the 2100 anda the server port. 
    
    He HAS disabled the graphics interface on the console port per a 
    suggestion in another note....
    
    any help would be appreciated./...
    
    thanks

 Hmm, can this be reproduced with any other terminal server?

 Do you have a way for us to reproduce this?

Cheers,
Phil

Cathy,
      please send the DECserver 700 characteristics for the port
and for the Telent server on the DECserver. I shall then try
to reproduce as I have not seen flow control problems for a long
time on PCM.

Cheers Simon....

Cathy,
      I have tried the pg on a system connected to PCM by both LAT
and TELNET. I get no problem as seen by the customer. I am using
DECserver 200s in my test. Can you supply any more info.

Cheers Simon....
804.4PCM/DS700 Telnet -- see note 777POBOX::KINSLEYNothing endures but changeMon Jun 19 1995 03:016
The problem Cathy is referring to is detailed in Note 777 including the
DS700 characteristics.  As of Friday we are trying to get some attention 
from the DECserver team -- hopefully someone with some Telnet expertise.
