ECO NUMBER: X25ALP_E02B011 ----------- PRODUCT: X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha Systems -------- UPDATED PRODUCT: X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha Systems 1.1B ---------------- APPRX BLCK SIZE: 258 ---------------- DIGITAL Read Before Installing ECO02 for X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha. Product: X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 Kit Name: X25ALP_E02B011 ECO Kit X25ALP_E02B011 Description Corrections have been included for the following components: o SYS$COMMON:[SYS$LDR]X25$ZWDRIVER.EXE o SYS$COMMON:[SYS$LDR]X25$ZWDRIVER.STB Problem Description 1) Stop ZWDRIVER needlessly consuming large amounts CPU time on AlphaServer 4000 family systems. 2) On PBXDP boards with more than 2 ports, correctly report the state of the modem control signals of ports above the first two. (The previous driver incorrectly reported the state of modem control signals for port 0 as the state of the modem control signals for each of ports 0, 2, 4 and 6 AND reported the state of the modem control signals for port 1 as the state of the modem control signals for ports 1, 3, 5 and 7.) 3) Ensure the state of the modem control signal DTR always is preserved across modifications to the register which controls DTR. Previously the board read the port register and inadvertently changed bit settings when doing so. The change corrects this situation for all ports on the PBXDP synchronous communications card. Installation Overview Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL X25ALP_E02B011 [location of the saveset] The saveset location may be a tape drive, or a disk directory that contains the kit saveset.
