How is IO on the cf card? I've got a system here that might turn into a

Hmm, it might also be time to resurrect that old laptop as well.

I forgot to add...
DEC used area 13 for DECUS (at least US anyway). The DECUS nodes were
colors just like our area 32. The area would be used for "special"
events and would be connected to the easynet backbone during a DECUS
symposium. Mostly this would occur in spring and fall. If the
documentation did not refer to area 13 for DECserver management, I would
have suggested area 13 for out special events area top pay homage to
that wonderful organization. Mark Wickens was going to use it for the
DEC legacy event this past October. I don't remember if he wound up
using it or used his own (area 4). Your list mentions me as the
"owner". That's fine, but I more of a coordinator of that area. Anyone
can use it for a "special" event like what Mark has - just let me know.

I know that, from a convenience point of view, you can use the name as a

Cool. I guess that platform should be enough to handle normal HECnet

Johnny,
I'll have to look up which documentation - I do not have it in front of
me at the moment. I personally use my own area to deal with this
because I am way past having to need the documents.
I have written a DCL procedure that does IP address lookups at
predetermined (configurable) intervals. If it finds a mismatched IP
address it reconfigures the the TCP-0-n (where "n" is the area - in my
case) IP address and schedules a reboot. It takes SG1:: ~3 minutes to
come back. I had to do this because Multinet (like the bridge) does not
support dynamic addressing. Area 33 is running with a dynamic-DNS
address. It just works and has for well over a year. It also sends
email to those who need to know that a change in address has occurred.
This can help Sampsa and Bob (two other connections that MISER::FRED
has) to notify them that they must reconfigure the entry for area 33.
Initially we used it to give MISER::FRED information to take to his ISP
that would detail just how often he would have to deal with new
addresses. Fred could probably provide more info on this. The email
also contains a report that provides some details that could be useful.
It has sure helped Fred and myself deal with "dynamic" changes! :-)

PS One more network is in the wings. You should be getting email about
it soon enough if you have not already.

That is 14 areas, and I'm talking to one more guy who wants a new area,
which would bring us to 15.
Anyone object to me giving him area 13? It was asked to be reserved for
DECserver management, but I don't really see the point of having an area
for that purpose. But if you can convince me... :-)
Also, SG1:: is quite a hub from the bridge point of view. Lots of
connections coming through there. Nice. :-) What type of machine is it?

At the moment 13 areas are up and running - this list only show 10.
Hopefully sometime today we will be at 14. We're working on it! :-)

Cool. Area 3 is up according to MIM. Pretty...

Yes. I was trying to convey that his site (area) is not an intermediate
hop but at the end of a leg (as it were). If you compare this to
Sampsa's network (and mine) where our sites route traffic for multiple
sites into your (bridged) backbone. Sampsa and I have multiple
redundant links to provide maximum connectivity. We are also linked
together via Multinet and the bridge. In this way if one of the sites
has issues at least something is available for others.

Steve, are you using "end node" in another meaning than the DECnet one?
Because Peter have a whole area, and not just an endnode machine...

Peter,
Add an additional connection to Multinet for SG1. Use 69.21.253.230.
I would set your costs (because you are an "end node") as follows:
GORVAX = 3 Shortest distance and high speed
SG1 = 5 Medium distance and medium speed
LEGATO> 5 Longest distance and slower speed
According to Sampsa, his bridge link is having issues (I have no
access to that), and he is out of country, so connecting to SG1 is
probably a great idea for now and won't hurt anything. SG1 like
LEGATO is a dedicated Multinet router. All it does is that one
function.

Steve:
Where are you located?
I'm everywhere, the Vaxen is in Stockholm, Sweden.
What is your IP address? I can add links to GORVAX and SG1 at any
time. If your IP address is dynamic, then SG1 will deal with that
automatically whereas GORVAX is a manual change.
192.108.200.211
It;s static.
