OK - it's been a while since I worked with a DECServer 700 so I wonder
if anyone can please give me some advice and/or help?

I am trying to configure a reverse LAT port from an Alpha GS140 to a
DECServer 700. I have a 4800 baud clock signal that will go into the
DECServer on port 7 and have VMS get the signal on LTA7.

The clock is ansi characters in the format:

203:00:00:02B

I have looked at this signal on a VT320 on a crash cart and it is OK.
(4800 baud, XON, 1 stop bit, noparity). The cable is connected via a
null modem into port 7 of the DS700.

Here's how the server port is configured:

<snip>

The example from a running program is from another server that is
working except it is via a DS900. No - I don't have access to anything
but the DS700 and the other server is across the country in another
datacenter.

I copied its port and terminal characteristics with three exceptions.

1. The working system has NOAltypeahd on its terminal and I have no
idea how to set that on mine.


$ SET TERMINAL /NOALTYPEAHD LTAnnn:


If you look in the DCL dictionary you will see there is no such
qualifier.


My bad!

It appears that once ALTYPEAHD has been set, there is no way to turn it off short of logging off and on again.

If there WERE a way to turn it off, it would be /NOALTYPEAHD.
