Hi Cory

I've seen this behaviour from various VAXen including later 4000 models. I now
have everything connected to a DECserver 90M with reverse-LAT so, from the
computers point of view, there is always a console cable connected.


I don't have a spare terminal server to toss at it so I'm trying to think 
of my options.   I suppose I could just flip the "disable break" switch."

I suspect what is happening is that the computer is treating the cable
disconnect as a 'break' which then will drop it to the console prompt.


That makes sense.   I can test that tomorrow by flipping the "break enable" 
switch.   Don't feel like heading downstairs to boot the MVII right now.

I do want to eventually swap the KA630 for a KA650/KA655/KA660 though.

Regards, Mark.
