[HECnet] Announcing TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS

[John Forecast]

Johnny,
    Thanks for fixing the TELNETD configuration issue, it’s working fine now. I have one additional problem during shutdown when IPREM is called from lb:[1,2]shutup.cmd I get the following error:

	>ifc stop
	Stopping IP.
	Stopping UD.
	TC not running..
	>abo ethacp
	TCP/IP - ethernet ACP exiting...

and the subsequent “con off tc:” hangs up for several minutes before timing out:

		>con off tc:

		CON -- Command execution error. 
		Timeout on unit quieting operation
	 		       OFFLINE	TC0:
     	 >unl if:/vec

I’m running M+ 4.6 on an emulated 11/93 with DECnet enabled. Up until the shutdown everything appeared to be running - I was able to successfully telnet into the system. Let me know if you need any more information.

  John.
