1244.0. "TELNET for DEChub remote setup" by SAC::KINDER_N (Neil Kinder TCC South (Communications)) Thu Jul 21 1994 21:09

    Hi,
    
    Will TELNET be put into the DEChub 900 and DEChub ONE.
    
    Just a thought for a future piece of functionality. I have been
    configuring a network around a county here in England. Around 40 sites
    with around 50 DEChub 900's and DEChub ONE's.
    
    As the implementation has gone along a few changes have been required.
    The customer has not yet purchased HUBwatch as they only have OSF (They
    do not want to use thier P.C.s for management). This has meant that I
    have had to go around to each site and make the changes.
    
    They also have DECbrouters. Thier configuration has been easy to change
    from one site as I can TELNET to them and make the changes. 
    
    As the number of functions you can perform at the DEChub console is
    only likely to increase it would be good if TELNET capability could be
    built into the management module.
    
    Many thanks
    Neil

1244.1Telnet support still not scheduledNAC::FORRESTMon Jul 25 1994 18:3310
	We have consciously avoided supporting Telnet. Not only does it 
	require more code space to support Telnet and TCP, but we would 
	also have to create the menu and/or command parsing code to go 
	with it. This seems like almost twice as much work as supporting 
	just SNMP. 

	We are trying hard to synchronize HUBwatch releases within a few 
	weeks of each other. This should help solve the problem that you 
	are having.
