Sounds like the kind of day I had yesterday. The deserver 90TL through
which my entire vax/alpha/ia64 collection have their consoles routed has
had an intermittent problem which I attributed to a dodgy power cable.
Yesterday I bit the bullet and replaced the cable only to have an epic
fail myself. Not even a power light. At least when I break decservers
they have the courtesy of giving me a power light. Anyway, my spare
decserver exhibits random and totally undesirable behaviour, so my
collection is effectively offline for the most part until I find a
replacement.
Anyone got a 90TL or 90M going spare?
I've got two 90L+ s and a 90M. I *think* they're spare. To be honest I'm clearing out a lot of old computers (mostly but not all DEC) so if anyone wants them too I'll list them here ;-)

Ah, thought it was too good to be true - this is the server software on
VMS to support pathworks for mac. Remember - I saw pathworks and mac and
put 2 and 2 together and got 5 because I know no better.
Fun looking through old SPLs though...

I'd love a copy fwiw....

Definitely interested - if you can put it up somewhere (HECnet or otherwise) I'd be very grateful to grab a copy.

I'm currently transferring the domain name over to a provider who can
support complex DNS entries as required.
Why not host our own DNS? Several of us have DNS servers we could use, and then complexity wouldn't be an issue. MultiNet has a good DNS server I've used for years.

Guys/gals
I'm currently transferring the domain name over to a provider who can
support complex DNS entries as required.
As for who hosts it, I'm easy. I'd like to keep it hosted on a OpenVMS
box if possible - it shows some faith in the technology. and I'd also
like to be in the situation where people can make updates to the website
via hecnet itself. This is why I was going down the WASD and ascii to
html.
Slowly slowly catchy monkey...
