I think that you mean that each *Amiga* node must have TSSnet.device running. A VAX or other DECnet node will have its own implementation, right? I am still looking for somthing like this: 1.Tss> Dir TSSnet:MyVAX"username password"::DUA2:[Chris]*.COM;* In other words, I want a standard way to address the network as a device. Sort of like using SER:. Can I do that yet? Even better, I would like a way to set up several such devices, ie. TSSnet1: , TSSnet2:, TSSnet0:, etc. That way I could have, say, three terminal emulation windows open, each talking to a different VAX, or all to separate sessions on the same VAX. Also, I've already talked to Bob Tolly about providing LAT protocall, and a virtual terminal for the Amiga, so that from a VAX I could say SETHOST MyAmi:: and get a CLI from my VT220! By the way, although I think that the TSSnet manual could use some improvement, it is very good for a first manual and the installation of TSSnet was a snap! (Still could be improved for non-CLI familiar users though. AmigaDOS 2.0 may help!) The manual for X-11 is not nearly as nice! Thanks for all the good work! Chris -)—–
