Hi Guys,
We're having a problem sending files from Pathworks kermit Windows VT320
terminal emulator to VAX VMS 5.5-2 kermit server.
Sending files from Vax to PC works fine.
The process we're using is :
We login to VAX 7000 using Pathworks V5.0 Windows 3.1 VT320 terminal
emulator version 5.0.093. We start kermit on VMS 5.5-2, kermit version
3.3.118 and put it in server mode. We then select kermit send file menu
on terminal emulator, select a file and start send process.
The send process starts fine and seems to go smoothly with no retries
until suddenly it stops with the following VT320 emulator error message :
COULD NOT GET KERMIT STATUS INFORMATION,
(NOT RUNNING KERMIT IN SERVER MODE ON REMOTE HOST?)
This doesn't result in a connection loss to the vax, but the kermit transfer
stops. For a given file it will fail at the same place every time, but
different amounts of data are transferred before failure for different files.
Some small files will transfer OK and some won't. If the file is bigger than
approx 30k it will almost certainly fail. Failure doesn't seem dependent
on file type.
We've tried changing between LAT & CTERM connection with no change and I've
tried changing kermit protocol retry limit to maximum (though no retrys are
indicated) and I've changed TIMEOUT setting to maximum, all with no effect.
This process is consistent across all PCs we have and we have the same problem
with different model VAX servers. There are other kermit protocol and packet
settings in the terminal emulator I could try changing which are :
Block check sum currently set to 1 other option is 2
Send delay for first packet, currently set to 0,maximum is 63 seconds.
Start of packet currently CTL-A
Padding count, currently set to 0 maximum is 60
Padding character currently CTL-@
Endof line character currently CTL-M
Quote character currently #
Packet size currently 94 other choice is 80
I haven't tried changing these as I have no idea what effect they will have.
Kermit transfer both ways to Pathworks VT320 DOS emulator (sethost) works
fine.
This problem has been reported to DIGITAL with no resolve as yet.
Anyone have any ideas ?
Any help greatly appreciated, this is causing us serious problems and is
urgent.
