I have been trying to run pcANYWHERE (one of those remote access programs that
permits one pc to connect to the serial port/modem port of another pc and do
remote control of the other pc, a la `advise' on TOPS-20). A port on one
DECserver 200 is setup to offer itself as a service. From another port I
connect to it using PC MacTerm, a program that permits a Mac to control a PC
running pcANYWHERE. If I use both machines like dumb terminals, connecting
them through the terminal servers, using kermit or something like that, any
characters typed on the pc show up nicely on the mac and vice versa. If I set
the mac next to the pc and connect them serial-port to serial-port, the
pcANYWHERE/PC MacTerm runs beautifully. However, when I run it through the
terminal server, I start getting junk and the programs go bananas, eventually
freezing up the connection. The only lines they are using on the direct
connection that works are tx, rx and signal ground (pin 7 on 25-pin). Anybody
have any theories or suggestions about what to try. I called DMA (Dynamic
Microprocessor Associates) who makes it and they didn't have any special
suggestions about why this is happening.
Thanks for any help,
