Hello all,
I am reviving this puzzle now that my network has undergone more restructuring. ;)
I can not for the life of me figure out why NCP isn't running. NETWOR shows the information it should, DECnet is operational as I can SET HOST to it yet NCP still tells me it isn't running?
Have I forgotten to start an obvious daemon?

You'd love it now since they've installed a ton of speed and red light cameras.
DC set the record for highest number of tickets written of any large US city.
Oh lovely. Bitch about my driving by putting up cameras that my tax
dollars pay for? Fuck that noise. I don't miss that place AT ALL.
(no offense intended of course)
It's the only reason DC govt has enough money to stay open with the federal govt shutdown.
That figures!

I have two VaxStation 3100's that I bought some time back but didn't have time to mess with until now.
Unlike my DEC 3000, the serial console is an MMJ port and not a DB9 serial port.
Does anyone have an excess or spare MMJ to DB9 adaptor, or know where I can purchase an inexpensive one?
I tired hooking up my multisync monitor I have hooked up to my DEC 3000, but I don't think the graphic card is set to a setting within the monitor's range, as nothing shows up.
Thanks in advance.

Please note that a discharged CRT can build up a static charge again

This is dielectric absorption. It happens with all capacitances,
including capacitance in things that are not capacitors, like CRTs.

I'm suddenly reminded of my largely unrelated habit of always touching a door handle with the back of my hand first and never the fingers or the palm.

Yeah. I know they're in the kV range. I'd appropriate discharge the CRT itself...but I lack the appropriate HV grounding wires.
A flat-blade screwdriver and an alligator clip lead. Clip the lead to the shaft of the screwdriver and to the metal chassis of the monitor. Work the flat blade under the rubber cup where the anode wire attaches to the CRT. Be prepared for a loud POP and a flash.
Be careful where you place your fingers while doing this.
Don't do it like my father did: he allowed his finger to wander onto the shaft of the screwdriver. Got seriously zapped, enough so that he jumped back 6 feet (from a squatting position). Not a CRT -- an 800 volt high current supply, B+ for a transmitter.
He wasn't hurt, but that taught me to be very careful with that procedure.
