  16. We used to connect from a Vax platform to a Dos platform. We now want to go
  17. from Vax to AIX.
  18.  
  19. Following was the ini file used on DOS:
  20.  
  21. echo Customizations...                                                  
  22. set port 2                      ; Use COM2                              
  23. do vax                          ; Set parameters for talking to a VAX  
  24. set speed 9600                  ; Transmission speed                    
  25. set parity none                                                         
  26. cd P:\pgbw\cgcshunt                                                     
  27. set bell off                                                            
  28. echo Starting Monitor...Pause 5 seconds..                               
  29. pause 5                                                                
  30.                                                                         
  31. get_file                                                              
  32.        receive                                                         
  33.        run copy expi90.dat CGC2JRI.NEW                                 
  34.        echo Wait 2 Seconds...                                          
  35.        pause 2                                                         
  36. goto   get_file                                                        
  37.  
  38. We want to connect from the Vax server to an AIX server now
  39. We have changed it to the following .kermrc:
  40.  
  41. def vax set par non, set flo x, set hand no, set dupl ful               
  42.                                                                         
  43. local ttyport                                                           
  44. local rcvdir                                                            
  45. assign ttyport /dev/tty1                                                
  46. assign rcvdir /home/terminal/data_in                                    
  47. assign tmpdir /home/terminal/temp                                       
  48. assign logdir /home/terminal/log                                        
  49.                                                                         
  50. set line \m(ttyport)                                                    
  51. set receive rename-to /home/terminal/data_in                            
  52. set file type text         ; Set type of file to text                   
  53. set input echo on                                                          
  54.                                                
  55. set terminal echo local    ; So output goes in session log              
  56. cd \m(logdir)                                                           
  57. log session                ; Creates session.log in current directory   
  58. log transact               ; Creates transact.log in current directory  
  59. cd \m(tmpdir)                                                           
  60. do vax
  61. set carrier-watch off                                                      
  62.            
  63. server                                                                 
  64. ; (End)                                                                 
  65.  
  66. The tty1 port is set at 9600.
  67. This will work when going from the Dos machine to the Unix machine. But not
  68. from the Vax machine to the AIX machine. We get no response on the Unix
  69. machine and the Vax machine keeps on resending.
  70.  
  71. Any ideas why we are having this trouble with AIX?
  72.  
  73. Thanks,
  74. Serge
