The Question is: Hi Wizard... I have a modem attached to a DEC server and setup as a dialout modem for my VMS machine. I have setup a LAT port that connects to this modem via service setup on DEC server. When I conect to this modem using "set host/lat" and then dial our loca X25 network I can connect successfully and al is working fine. But if I try and script this procedure, it just does not work very well from DCL. Modem command is executed and the rest of the responses are just ignored. Script looks like this: $ set h/lat lta100 atdt1,1745 usernamepassword-95003459 ...... The part where I need to enter username and password for x25 access is completelly ignored and the lines after that are skiped as well. Is there any way I can script this using just the DCL? I would appretiate any sugestion to get arround this problem. Cheers, Nedo The Answer is : SET HOST commands generally do not operate within a DCL command procedures -- one approach involves the use of pseudo-terminals. As for why this wasn't done, the system has no way of knowing (in the general case) when a read is outstanding from the remote system, and things can thus get hopelessly complex and snarled.
