DECnet must have been around at least from 1993, because the

Did you mean DECnet support in IOS, or DECnet itself? DECnet itself
dates to the mid-1970s.
What I haven't found out is when the IP tunnels were introduced in the
IOS. It seems to be in IOS 11.2. So it is included in all recent
versions, but the Cisco 2500's have limited flash and RAM capabilites.
Therefore the recent IOS's cannot be used with older hardware. I suppose
the IOS 11.2 should be sufficient for tunneling DECnet over IP.
I'll bet much older releases than that would support this.
I have to check which versions I have on my 2500's. Most probably they
have an IP-only version of the IOS. I bought the 2500's cheap from a
local broker a few years ago.
I've got lots of IOS images if needed. Let me know if I can help.

I've reseated the SIMMs. I'll test for a while and see how it behaves now.
Good luck!
The 1600 does not have DECnet capable software.
Perhaps Brian can help out here.
Perhaps. The 1600 doesn't look or sound as impressive as the IGS though :-)
Indeed. ;) The IGS became the 3000, which then sorta morphed into the
68030-based 2500 platform. We all know how long those little buggers
lasted. I still see them in service from time to time today! Damn good
hardware. Simple and bulletproof.

Another file you might want to look at, if you prefer, would be
MIM::US:[DECNET]NODENAMES.DAT. The format should be obvious if you
check either that, or FIX.CMD
By the way, I hope you know that VMS can copy the nodename
database directly from another machine without you having to
hack files on your own, if that is the reason why you asked
for a file...
Assuming you are running Phase IV, just do:
"MCR NCP COPY KNOWN NODES FROM MIM TO BOTH"
and you are set.
replace MIM with 1.13, if you don't have MIM in your database already.

Be careful using "MCR NCP COPY KNOWN NODES FROM MIM TO BOTH". If you
have a cluster you may delete important records.

Hi Peter.. when is this the IGS's that have a 16Mhz m68020 in them? I
think I've got one or two (Although I've not dug that deep in over a
decade).
At startup, it says:
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 3000 Software (IGS-BPRX), Version 10.0(6), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Copyright (c) 1986-1994 by cisco Systems, Inc.
Compiled Tue 25-Oct-94 19:01 by dougs
cisco IGS (68020) processor (revision A) with 4092K/512K bytes of memory.
I can't find any reference to the processor speed anywhere.
