Now I've got another problem. The TOPS-10 node goes yo-yo:

It's outside tops10, I guess, and I'm completely lost there. If my
braincells starts to work I will rember how to log all the DECnet
packets on the -10 side.
--P
Its fixed now. I'm running the PDP-10's in a virtualbox VM, and I'm using a virtualbox feature that allows to cap the %CPU of the host CPU the VM can use. If I cap it to under 40% the virtual ethernet devices begin to drop packets and the yo-yoing begins. Curiously, TOPS-20 is more resilient and, although I see its ethernet dropping as much packets as the TOPS-10 one it does not drop itself from the network...
KLH10 does not seem to have an idle loop detection like SIMH does. The Panda TOPS-20 uses some sort of virtual device to make the host aware if it is idling, but the regular TOPS-10 monitor does not, so it's using the 100% of the CPU time of the host virtualbox machine. So if I don't cap it it ends topping one of the cores of the "real" host machine. And the it gets hot :)

How about VAXPI? ;)
I like to name my hosts after monkeys, think I'd call it LORIS. It's small and slow.

... and I've posted an article about SIMH networking enhancements in version 3.9. I hope I've not done too many mistakes, and that it could be minimally useful :)

The timeout is currently set to 2 billion seconds. This "should" not be
a problem for most people. :-)
I may reduce it to a week if this timeout causes me any grief.
It was still going up and down.
I did shut the circuit down on my side to improve overall stability,
let me knew when there is any progress in conecting to the Internet.

There are copies of WordPerfect for Solaris currently available on ebay UK.
I asked the question about WordPerfect for VMS on comp.os.vms - turns out there is a company still selling it. However, when I mentioned I was a hobbyist the communications went silent.

There was even a version for SunOS, with a fairly respectable WYSIWYG
GUI. I used that quite a bit Back In The Day(tm). I think I still have
it somewhere.
Those binaries will likely run under current Solaris on UltraSPARC;
I've been amazed at the degree of both architectural and ABI
compatibility between BSD-based SunOS 4 and SysV-based Solaris.

Quick update,
I received my WordPerfect for Unix package today.
Two very hefty manuals, an installation guide and three CDROMs.
Although the ebay advert mentions SUNOS/Solaris the following are also included:
HP-UX, RS/6000 AIX, SCO, UnixWare and AT&T GIS 3000, SGI, Siemens Nixdorf
Unfortunately no Digital Unix/tru64, which is what I was secretly hoping for :(
Mark.

Yes, it has some stupid hostname autodiscovery thing that gets the
hostname on Windows and *nix boxes without me assigning it to the
hardware MAC address. It got royally confused by seeing the same
hostname at 2 different MAC addresses. Even when I manually assigned
statuc IPs and separate names it still couldn't sort itself out.
He he, well, I guess it's a good name to choose.

You can't use PIVAX as a node name, all my cluster nodes are all set
to be PIVAX1 to PIVAXn :P

Thanks. Done that one, as well as A54RTR.
