- I had the same experience when I tried to use 'ccr' on a WAN. It seems to
- work fine on a LAN. Is your terminal server in the same building as your
- workstation ? I tried getting some help from DEC, but they couldn't reproduce
- the problem since they didn't have a similar network setup on which to test.
-
- Make sure you have the latest 'ccr'. Best bet (sad to say) is to use VMS
- and connect to the terminal server using the appropriate NCP commands.
