- Subject: Taking Over Remote Keyboard of Nondedicated Bridge

-
- PROBLEM: A customer was trying to attach two nondedicated file
- server/workstations together using "RCOM2", a PC Anywhere
- type program, under ELS II v2.15c. At a regular workstation
- on each file server, this works fine. He could transfer
- files and take over the remote keyboard. At the
- nondedicated workstation he can't do either.
-
- SOLUTION: Asynchronous communications from the nondedicated file
- server/workstation is not recommended. Also you will have
- trouble taking over the keyboard on a nondedicated file
- server because of the way the hardware switches between real
- and protected mode. It relies on the keyboard processor to
- do it.
