hello again,
maybe I did not explain well:
first everything works well ,excepted lynx,I'll explain below,so we could stay here and say ok,but there is a 'mystery':the adsl 'box' is a router with an local network and an internet connection to that network,until now all the machines that were connected to the local network(192.168.*.*)were visible from outside (from my isp)
now all are visible (pcs under windows95/98 and above,linux machines,even the nintendo games of my child,but not the vax.I have changed nothing to the vax.
I think it does not come from vms,but from difference in the software of the box,and it has no consequence on the functionnality of everything.
For lynx :the problem is not in unzipping a downloaded file,it happens when trying to access to remote site,not a local page(it eliminates vms/lynx),I tested with a simple page on my site where I was sure there is no zip file to download and I still get
the error message (unable to decompress file).I'll try another version of lynx.Another test I did :lynx is ok with all sites on linux.This also does not surely come from the vax/vms/ucx/lynx because it happened suddenly when I moved from satellite internet to adsl internet .This also is not very important,my vax is not mainly used to go to the www,it is used to do astronomic calculations,www is just fun, even if with a vt340 is is a little bit rough....but I am so happy with my vax:no pain,no cry,no reformatting,no reinstallation,in a word no problem.My wife reinstalls her pc every two ot three months :-)))
Have a good day all
