I own the domain decnet.org I have for several years, but I haven t really done anything with it. Is there any interest in using it for HECnet somehow? We could, for example, give all the machines that have TCP/IP connectivity name.decnet.org aliases. Or we could set up mail forwarding for somebody at decnet.org. Or we could have a web page at www.decnet.org. Or maybe somebody can think of something else. I m also willing to transfer the name if somebody can promise to put it to good use. I don t want any money for it, but I would like to see it get used. Bob

Connect to HECnet

by bob＠jfcl.com

Igor I d be happy to have LEGATO connect to you with a Multinet tunnel. Since you are going to operate as a Level 1 router, that means you will have to be in the same area as LEGATO. That s not a problem since there s plenty of address space available, and I ll just reserve you a block from 2.300 thru 2.309. Sounds like you only have three machines, so that should be plenty. You ll need to register your node names with Johnny (just email them to this list) so he can add them to the master database. Send me an email off list when you have Multinet set up on your end and I ll turn on the link.

One of them i plan to configure as Level1 router and connect to HECnet using Multinet or TCPware under OpenVMS. Is anybody, who use the same software, can connect my machines to its area?

Psilo status?

by HECNET＠beyondthepale.ie

No. Some mails from Hans was encoded in Base64. If you didn't see that, then there is something going on at your side to hide it. But I think Hans solved this. Johnny helped me do some testing and it turns out that there was indeed something going on at my side to hide it. My PMDF mailserver was silently removing the redundant base64 encoding so I never got to see it which is why I was so puzzled. Apologies for spreading my confusion to the list without checking further. Regards, Peter Coghlan.

Please ignore. I'm trying to see if the list mangles mails sometimes... . Johnny --

I read the hecnet list using VMS Mail and I therefore get to see all the headers in their gorey detail. I've never seen any mail from the list arrive with base64 encoding. I've had a quick look through the headers for all the hecnet mail for the last few days. I find some mails have Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT and others have Content-transfer-encoding: 8BIT (including some that are not from Hans). Just one mail (the HTML section of a mail from Jordi Guillaumes i Pons) had Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable and none at all had Content-transfer-encoding: base64. In particular, the ones from Hans do not arrive here with Content-transfer-encoding: base64 I can't see anything special about the mails from Hans that would be causing those and only those to result in difficulties on a 7bit only system. Perhaps a mail transfer agent processing mail for the system experiencing the problem is making incorrect assumptions about some of the mails going through it and somewhat arbitrarily deciding to convert some of them to base64? (I do see some headers such as X-Spam-Status: containing references to base64 but this should have no bearing on how the mail is processed.) No. Some mails from Hans was encoded in Base64. If you didn't see that, then there is something going on at your side to hide it. But I think Hans solved this.
