Looks like you are bouncing between two routers, one of which is faulty at the moment (PONDUS). Why you would get to PONDUS, I don't know. I know it is faulty because adjacency is down. The problem with PONDUS is that it can stop receiving ethernet packets, but is still sending. There is a bug somewhere inside the DECnet driver, which I'd like to find, if I just had the sources... I'll have someone kick on PONDUS on sunday, when someone is physically close to the machine again. An endnode normally should pick the router with the highest priority, which can be heard. MIM is at 96, and should be picked, unless something else is funny. PONDUS should only be at 64, even if it is working. Johnny Oleg Safiullin wrote: Hi. Is something wrong with subj?

Thanks for the positive feedback! The obvious thing to add is a HECNETINFO command, that displays this file on a given host - we want this information to be easily accessible from the DCL side as well rather than just the Web, I think.

Very nice! Definitely saving this one in my hecnet folder for future use. :) I also have Zane's URL saved as well. I put an info.txt file in the decnet default directory on MISER earlier today.

I can get them up onto a hecnet accessible drive, or an ftp site - let me know which you'd prefer. It'd have to be ftp for now. I need to get my new Linux box up and running before I can get hooked-up to Hecnet. Cheers, Andrew -- Andrew Back a at smokebelch.org

Of course, and this list is great - but for random browsing of the network, the info.txt is a nice feature I think, no?

Enterprise Directory & MAILBus MTA.

Mark, Have a look on RHESUS::, in the MEDIALIB dir there's a whole SPL, I think MAILBUS might be there, in fact: RHESUS::DKA0:[SYS0.FAL$SERVER.MEDIALIB.AXP.SPL.DISK4.MTA030] might be just the thing you're looking for.

Does anyone know where I could lay my hands on: HP OpenVMS Enterprise Directory v5.4 and HP Administrator for Enterprise Directory v2.2 HP MAILbus 400 MTA & SDK v3.2-12 It's more than a little annoying that the hobbyist licence PAKs give you access to tons of stuff that is a nightmare to track down. Regards, Andrew funny you should ask, I'm just looking through the dec campus distro I 'acquired' a while back, I'll check the software manifest now...
