- First of all, thanks for a humungous response. I never knew that there were
- so many caring people in the world! ;-)
-
- It seems that I have left out some vital pieces of information in my
- original mailshot and a lot of you have asked pretty much the same
- questions (plus a couple of summary requests - I'll post that when we get
- it fixed).
-
- Now, the answers ...
-
- Yes, I was running LATMASTER on 5.4-3 - no problem.
- Yes, I can connect to the servers using TSM. Everything looks ok with them
- except for the LAT services.
- I have the terminal server names in Upper case.
- DECNET Phase IV is in operation here.
-
- My supplier has said that he hasn't come across this problem before, but
- the obvious thing to do is to grab the lastest version of the software
- anyway, which is winging it's way to us at the moment. Most of the servers
- have .5MB (AArrgghh! Some of you have said this could/will be a problem)
- but I enclose sample output from my latest server ...

- I'm still talking to Emulex through my supplier, but if anyone can shed
- light on this from Infovax I would appreciate it. My infovax line is still
- down - could you reply directly? I promise to summarise later ...
-
- Thanks again for all replies so far.

- Brian.
