[McIDAS #VZA-525318]: [mcidas-x] DSINFO command hangs indefinately

Hi João,

No worries.

re: try telnet 128.104.109.190 112 to test the connection to the ADDE server

Hmm... this is pretty weird.  What does 'ping' have to say:

ping 128.104.109.190

It is pretty unusual for outbound requests to be blocked... incoming
yes, outgoing rare (but the U.S. military does this a lot).

re:
> Thanks!

No worries.

Be aware that all current ADDE servers listen on port 112, so unblocking
outbound requests to port 112 will be important if you want to access
data from remote servers.

Cheers,

Tom
