CONN: MACGATE.EXE Does Not Accept -BR Command-Line Option

• Microsoft Mail Connection for PC and AppleTalk Networks, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

In version 3.2 of the Microsoft Mail Connection for PC and AppleTalk Networks, the MACGATE.EXE program reports the following error if you include the Break Relative (-BR) option on the command line:

Run time parameter in MACGATE.INI file must be between 0 and 999. (307)

CAUSE

The -BR command-line option does not override the RunTime parameter in the MACGATE.INI file.

RESOLUTION

The MACGATE.EXE program -BR option is implemented in version 3.2.1. The option allows the administrator to allocate a termination time from within the MACGATE command parameters. This no longer requires Dispatch to terminate the session or requires the use of batch files when using MACGATE.EXE with Dispatch.

For more information on changing gateway configuration parameters, refer to pages 29 and 30 of the Mail Connection 3.2 "Administrator's Guide."

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.2 of the Microsoft Mail Connection for PC and AppleTalk Networks. This problem was corrected in version 3.2.1 of the Mail Connection for PC and AppleTalk Networks.
