The problem is, that I unfortunatelly dont have access to VAX/VMS
machines at all because they belong to our customer (I am implementing
part of SLM and all I have are DECNET addresses of VAX machines). So my
only possibility is to clear connections from Linux, which is impossible
or only possible by rebooting the machine. Or am I wrong?
