REMOTE access will allow only connections from the network to the modem, while DYNAMIC access will allow both network access and local access (ie: you can dial in through this modem as well as dial out). Then on the VAX you need to configure a LAT port to access the modem. You can run a small procedure with the following lines: $ mcr latcp CREATE PORT LTAxx SET PORT LTAxx /APPLICATION/NODE=decserver_node_name/PORT=port_name EXIT $ exit These LATCP commands can be added to your startup files (typically LTLOAD.COM). Now from the $ you can access the modem by this command: $ SET HOST/DTE LTAxx Another thing you can do is define a local service on the DECserver your modems are connected to, and then access the modem directly from the Local> prompt. This can be accomplished by the following: Local> SET SERVICE DIALOUT PORT n IDENT "Dialout Modem" where DIALOUT is the name of your service, and n is the modem port. ======================================================================== Brian Klassen Data Comm Engineer Chedoke-McMaster Hospitals Hamilton, Ontario
