I want to connect a serial plotter using XON/XOFF protocol to our server
running Netware3.11 and PSERVER.NLM version 3.7.6. It
all works quite fine until the connection between server and plotter is
interrupted for some reason, e.g. a plotter failure or cabling problem. If the
printserver is waiting for XON signal at that moment, it is nearly
impossible to force the server to proceed. Even if I kill the faulty printjob,
the server is still waiting for XON before serving the next job.
The only possibility I found is to unload the printserver (not a
practicable way) or to connect a terminal instead of the
plotter and transmit XON by pressing ^Q (also not a very good solution).
If anyone out there has a better idea( e.g. a better PSERVER.NLM), I would be
very happy to hear about it!
Thanks in advance!
