- I've been using it for a couple of months, and have found it to be very useful.
- The only problem that I've had with it involves abnormally terminating a
- terminal session.
-
- From my workstation I telnet to the VMS system. If I then glogin, and kill
- the decterm, the session won't be dropped. Not only that, glogin goes into
- this incredible CPU-sucker mode where it consumes 80-90% of my 3900's CPU.
- This is with VMS 5.5 and UCX 2.0, for all interested.
-
- Just make sure that if something dies, you go back and kill the glogin process
- from hell. Other than that, I think you'll find it to be a very useful
- product.
