[Simh] Simh and OpenVMS Integrity V8.4 Network Support issues

[Maurizio De Tommaso (Gmail)]

Hi Mark,

I see you are able to reproduce the behavior of slowness of new SIMH code 
that I observed on my rx1620 Integrity server.

As by your suggestion, I modified my configuration file to include the 
directive "Set Noasync" and I removed the directive "set xq type=delqa". Now 
the new SIMH code runs with acceptable performance, similar to V3.8-1 
release. I turned on the debugging and I captured its output (see attached 
file), as per your instructions. During these tests I used EIB0 network 
adapter, Lat and Tcp/Ip protocols . As reported before, my impression is 
that the simulated network adapter is able to transmit but it is not able to 
receive packets.

I look forward for your updates

Best regards,
/Maurizio

Hi Maurizio,

I have reproduced the 'slow' behavior on Integrity VMS with my 'enhanced' 
codebase.  This behavior is definitely VMS platform specific.  You can get 
full speed behavior if you put a "SET NOASYNC" command in your configuration 
file.  I will explore why this is happening.

This does not happen with the just about to be released v3.9-0

Too bad this is not the network issue....
