- When using a Xyplex terminal server a problem can occur where the line
- seems to lock up. The reason for the lockup is due to ZMODEM using XON/XOFF
- characters in its protocol (but NOT the XON/XOFF protocol itself).
-
- When connecting to UNIX this is usually the problem. When connected to
- VMS one does NOT usually see it. Why you ask? VMS usually uses a LAT
- connection. When a LAT connection is made the terminal server lets the data
- pass 'transparently' through. For most UNIX systems the TCP/IP is the
- type of connection used. This type of connectin allows the terminal
- server to 'interpret' the data. This is where the problem occurs.
-
- To solve the problem (only required for a TCP/IP connection):
-
- 1.) Make your connection to the remote computer and login.
- 2.) Enter a BREAK (or possibly a ctrl-\)
- 3.) Enter SET SESSION PASSALL
- 4.) Enter RESUME
-
- Now you can do the transfer. To undue the PASSALL settings:
-
- 1.) Use the instructoins above, but change #3 to:
-
- 3.) Enter SET SESSION INTERACTIVE
-
- Thats all there is to it.
