DEC terminal server 300

Chris,

sorry to chime in unexpectedly. Did you set up the ports used for
consoles to allow remote access from the LAN (DEFINE PORT n ACCESS
REMOTE, then LOGOUT PORT n)? - I have no experience with reverse Telnet
on this device, but this should at least give you a chance to associate
port n with a service and then connect to the service (either from
another port m on the DECserver, or via SET HOST/LAT from a VAX). This
is LAT terminology, but I think the ACCESS REMOTE setting is required
for reverse Telnet as well.

Alternatively, ACCESS DYNAMIC would allow you to either connect from the
VT220 on any other port m to DECserver port n with a console on it, or
from VMS' console device (SET HOST/DTE OPA0:) through port n to anything
else.

ACCESS LOCAL forbids any access from the LAN to the port. Connections
can only be initiated from the port itself. This is the default setting.

And, if you cannot get it going, throw the DECserver at me! ;-)

Regards,
Andreas

P.S.: Of course, since you have VMS, once you set the port to ACCESS
REMOTE or DYNAMIC, you can even create a LATnnnn: device that represents
the DECserver port, e.g., in LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM. For this to work, you
don't necessarily need to associate a service with the port.
