Why doesn't the NCP command:

    SET CIRCUIT circ-name LISTEN TIMER value

work? NML always responds with an 'unrecogised parameter type, Listen timer'
error.

Our DECnet circuits are exclusively X25 DLMs and we wish to cut down the
hello packet traffic from 1 per 15sec to something like 1 per 120sec. The
fact that the listen timer value is resistant to change prevents us from
doing that.

Does anybody out there suffer in the same way? Solutions would be gratefully
received. It's killing our PAD.
