The Question is: Re: remote user using emulator and connecting via TCP/IP telnet to Alpha. When the user loses connection: a)the process does not stop; b) when they try to reconnect, they do not see the option asking if they want to reconnect to the previous process. Is there a way to set VMS so it prompts them for reconnection? The Answer is : On OpenVMS, the ability to preserve a session either disconnected deliberately or dropped due to a modem carrier loss or a network drop and then later reconnect is known as Virtual Terminal support. With most communications mechanisms, support for Virtual Terminals is enabled by setting several system parameters to reflect local requirements. Details are covered in the OpenVMS system management documentation. TCP/IP Services does differ in the particular mechanisms used to enable Virtual Terminal support, but current product versions do offer support. Please see the Virtual Terminal information that is included in the TCP/IP Services package documentation, assuming the IP stack in use is TCP/IP Services. (Specifically, look in the telnet section of the TCP/IP Services Managment manual.) Once enabled, the Virtual Terminal support will provide the ability for incoming IP telnet connections to reconnect to an existing session, akin to what is available with other incoming terminal connections.
