this problem was described in the MacLayers Bulletin #1 as follows:
2. The layers multiple window protocol does not work on 7-bit lines. It
should, but it doesn't. Since file transfer is macput, it also
needs 8 bit. Use 8 bit, no parity. 7-bit gets you an "encode request
not received" message.
MacLayers Bulletins numbers 1 and 2 were posted both here and in
INFO-MAC and are archived on RASCAL.ICS.UTEXAS.EDU in
mac/communications/MacLayers
INFO-MAC digests are archived on SUMEX of course)
the bulletin no. 2 contains a bug fix (as follows)
Level: Severe
Problem 001: The layers command may fail to properly startup protocol mode
or a new layer window requested by the user may stall.
Symptoms: After the user issues the layers command the initial shell
window appears followed by a "Bad Packet Received" dialog
box. After that point further input is ignored until the
layers system is terminated with a Control menu selection
of "Abort Host Layers".
A secondary manifestation of this problem can occur after
layers protocol mode has been established and when a new layer
window is requested by the user. The window may remain
inert until it has been put behind another layer window
and then brought back up to front.
