Could someone help me with a 1-minute test please?

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I just need someone to try to SET HOST to a non-existent node in my area (area 5), eg 5.500. You should get an unreachable error, but you may timeout instead, that is the problem I am trying to diagnose. If someone does try it please let me know what happens at your end. Thanks Rob

Beta User Mode DECnet Router Available For Testing

I have already realised that there is at least one deficiency. If you have any Level 1 routers in your area then it isn't going to work properly because it doesn't send out Level 1 Routing messages (but it does process the ones it receives). I have also had a report that when nodes in my area are not reachable, you get a timeout instead of an "unreachable" error.

Only tested on Windows Server 2003 and Raspberry Pi running Debian. 2. Does not support Phase III nodes. 3. Although it can be configured as a Level 1 node, Level 1 is not fully supported. It has only been tested as a Level 2 (area router) node. 4. Limited testing on Raspberry Pi. 5. Performance not tested. 6. Not tested with multiple ethernets. 7.

DECserver 200/MC - Worth a Punt?

by sampsa＠mac.com

Got one here as a console server, works great. Same model too. Recommended.

I haven't checked the price on DECserver 200's lately, but newer ones (DECserver 90, DECserver 700) are very expensive even on Ebay. 100s and 200s are practically giveaways, but that's practically a giveaway price. They're great little machines. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

DECserver 200/MC - Worth a Punt?

Must be UK English Johnny :-) Punter translates to gambler so a punt for me at least translated as "attempt". ------Origineel bericht------ Van: Johnny Billquist Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: Re: [HECnet] DECserver 200/MC - Worth a Punt?
