This message occurs when all of : the ports available to a class are being used up. For example, MIAVX1, : which is a serial connection to the Alpha, has 7 lines. That's why it : fills up so easily. The class MIAMIU has around 96 lines (I think). : Classes V1, Phoenix, and CASNext are a little different. Instead of being : serial connections, these connections are made via a Telnet session. These : classes share a total of 64 Telnet ports. Therefore, the message : you received indicates that all telnet ports were being used (or there was : another problem that I'm not aware of...does anyone in networking wish to : comment?) Is there any way arround this? I'd kinda gotten used to waiting 30-45 minutes to get a modem, but having to wait another 5-7 after I get to hal to get to a service is really annoying. Don't the Hughes vt's and a whole host of other services also go into hal? --- [log in to unmask] http://nextsrv.cas.muohio.edu/~atporter
