Mike, Tried this and I am dropped back at the hiperarc's cli.3kb.com and found nothing on this. Is their a syntax problem here? A list of the network services show the I have also looked on 3kb.com and found nothing on this. All I found was some expalnation for doing telneting to a hiperarv from a netserver with a set of console cables hooked tied together with a null modem connector. Have no idea why anyone would want to do that. I'll keep looking. Thanks - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
