Well, we finally succeeded. As we just discussed on the phone, I would

like to use the 'PORT' code that is included in RSCS version 2 release 2

as this will make things easier for us operationally. However, we cannot

do this until we set up passwords for the node and/or line. I'm not totally

sure whether both are required, but for safety, let's use both. As we agreed,

the password we will use will be 'BITNET'. (Note that these passwords are

required by the RSCS code for security, so no one else can dial in with your

nodename and receive your files).

To implement these passwords on your side, and since we have to swap the MODE=

to get this to work, here is what your PARM statement for us should look like:

PARM CUNYVMV2 MODE=SEC TLPASS=BITNET TNPASS=BITNET

I will include a corresponding PARM statement on our side.

If you do not receive this mail by tomorrow morning, I'll leave the system

the way it was today, and we can implement these changes tomorrow (Wednesday).

Bye,

Bill Rubin
