We have a Sun3/50 and 3/60 with the SunLink DNA protocols configured into
the kernel(4.0 Sunlink, 3.5 SunOS)

Are VAX is running VMS 4.4.

Are connection works fine most of the time, but periodically we get a
"DECNet adjacency error" and the VAX assumes it has lost the Sun
connection and the circuit is dropped.

This error seems to be a timeout on the handshaking within the DECNet
protocol. We feel the Sun system is not keeping up its end of the bargain.

Can anyone help us???

Also, is there a newer version of the SunLink protocols???

Thanks in advance,
