I turned on debug for the DMC device using "SET DMC DEBUG" and nothing seems to be getting printed even though the DMC device is being "used" by RSTS/E. In any case, after DECnet/E 4.1 starts up the following gets printed: Event type 4.11, Circuit initialization failure - circuit fault Occurred 20-Dec-28 13:25:10.0 on node 1.250 (HOUOU) Circuit DMC-0 Reason = Circuit synchronization lost Adjacent node address = 0 The above message repeats, continuously, of course with date and time matching. Trying with a date before 2000, still results in the same circuit initialization failure (just with the correct date, of course). > If someone has RSTS DMC11 device driver source we could determine the details > of the version requirements and/or other behavior that it needs. > Unfortunately, I can't help with that since the driver sources don't come with the RSTS/E 10.1-L installation tape.
