Hi. Sorry if I was a bit "short" earlier, but I usualy (and
I know others too) find hard output better then rewritten
descriptions of something. :-)

OK. My system says :

$ tcpip sh ver

   HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.7 - ECO 3
   on an AlphaServer DS25 running OpenVMS V8.4

$

Are you able to goto ECO 3 ?
No idea if that "solves" anything of course, it's just
a thought. There is usualy no reason *not* to apply ECO's.
I upgraded to 8.4 a few weeks ago on my DS25, and as far
as I remember 5.7 ECO3 was the kit on the CD's (the CD's
distributed from HP lately).

So you are using both telnet and LPD as transport for
your queues?

But as Kenneth wrote, I'd not bother about the queueus
until after PING works. :-)
