I vaguely remember a problem with the VMS TCPIP wanting to do a reverse dns
lookup of the client making the connection and this holding things up for
a while if it did not complete due to lack of access to dns servers etc.
However, I don't recall it causing the connection to fail.

I would stick with the command line FTP client. Many of the GUI FTP clients
for windows assume a unix or windows filesystem on the server and
completely fail to cope with the syntax of VMS filenames. Even the ones
that claim to understand VMS can still run into difficulties. I think part
of the problem is that the RFC describing FTP says that filenames should
be in the servers format rather than in a platform independant format and
the GUI FTP client producers tend to do what they think should work rather
than follow the RFCs to the letter.

My VMSfu is rusty, but that looks reasonable. What happens when you telnet
to port 21 from another host? You should get a message like
220 blah.foo.invalid FTP server ready

I found the file listed on this archive index

I did a site search for this without any luck on

It seems most of the files on there are disk images only.

Today as I was looking through the warehouse in one of the boxes were
several digital manuals. One was a 1990 October-December Systems and
Options Catalog on Vax Systems/Decsystems. It's a great read full of
lots detail about each system.

Sounds like you don't have anonymous access configured on your server. Try
ftp://user:pass at blah

-v Suppresses display of remote server responses.
-n Suppresses auto-login upon initial connection.
-i Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file
transfers.
-d Enables debugging.
-g Disables filename globbing (see GLOB command).
-s:filename Specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the
commands will automatically run after FTP starts.
-a Use any local interface when binding data connection.
-A login as anonymous.

AA-H803C-TE DECnet-VAX System Manager's Guide says on page 2-45:
"DECnet-VAX supports four DDCMP line devices:
the DMC-11, the DMR-11, the DMP-11, and the DMF-32 synchronous line.
The DMC-11 and the DMR-11 are point-to-point line devices and are
considered identical. The DMP-11 is either a multipoint control,
or multipoint tributary line device.
The DMF-32 synchronous line is a point-to-point or multipoint tributary line device."
The boards are identical at the module number level seemingly, but there are most
probably different subtypes of the M8207 DMx microprocessor and/or M8203 line units
I think the M8207-RA is for the DMR11 and the M8207-YA/YB/YC is for the DMP11.
Anyone to confirm or doubt that?

Ulli

Has anyone got manuals for the DEC DMP-11 synchronous serial interface?
It was a common interface for multipoint DDCMP DECnet connections in the
era before Ethernet became well-established.
Any hints welcome!
