I now have PHONENET working with a MUX arrangement. The Local channel works just fine. The Decnet-Mail channel is working nicely. The FTCP (Fusion TCP/IP) channel is only working on the slave side -- incoming mail is received and processed properly. The master side of FTCP is dying when it goes out to establish connection with the target system. The local Fusion setup is to run as a caching only and/or slave name-server. It appears that something is going wrong in the name to address conversion. I've looked at the code a little bit and it appears that the call to "name2adr" is failing. Does this code only look up names in the local MACHINE.DB? Is there some way to fix up this code to use the name server that has been defined (and appears to work for TELNET & FTP)? My next stab in the dark will be to try setting up an FTCP Gateway and define the gateway system in the MACHINE.DB file. In my next message I'll report on my success using this. Obviously some of you out there have this stuff working nicely or it wouldn't have been in the distribution. I'd like to have it work for me too. I have not tried the WIN/TCP slave replacement, but I've tried using the master portion and it dies with some kind of error. Is there anyone who can and is WILLING to help me figure out what's going wrong with my setup? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Boyd Harris Microelectronics Ctr.
