Yes, actually. There Are 2 Cisco switches in the way.

CHIMPY Retro Tetris Update:
Mark Wickens is in the lead with a score of 7,640, followed by Vilaca with 1,574 (score not verified with screenshot so might not count).
Guys, we're still running until 23:59:00 GMT on 31-DEC-2013 so there's plenty of time to win random Arabic money AND certificates of Tetris awesomeness.
Telnet to CHIMPY.SAMPSA.COM or SET HOST CHIMPY, log in as TETRIS.
REMEMBER TO SCREENSHOT YOUR RESULT IF YOU GET A NEW HIGHSCORE. Or at least write down what date/time/node you came from if SET HOST, so I can verify the score..

Hi Sampsa,
I added a few sentences and one image on the version on my website:
http://rullf2.xs4all.nl/sg/doc.html
The last image takes just 2s on RULLFS to compose :)
So at the end I end with the notion that Sixel graphics in e.g. XTerm
may perhaps even have a future! Do you know another application?

I made some corrections and I think it is ready, unless you have
further suggestions for improvement. You can edit it as you like
and add further screenshots (I don't think I have dtterm). Perhaps
this depends on Mark Wickens' contribution. Is it something to put

In case you think it is interesting, I can write something about my

See also below for something that may be fun for the Retrotron.

It is hard to imagine, but perhaps even Captain Kirk sometimes played
a Sudoku before boldly going where no man has gone before:
http://rullf2.xs4all.nl/sst/sudoku.html
There are nine entities in the Sudoku chart, but a Starfleet ship
may be a Galileo, Faerie Queene, or an Enterprise; a Klingon may
be an ordinary one, a Commmander or a Super Commander. (This depends
on a Greek-Latin square).
The Sudoku is played backwards, because the Federation is under attack.
Entities are removed at random if they take up a unique position.
In a fight, the strength matters, but if you take up a unique position,
you are trapped and may be destroyed.
It was good that Kirk practiced in a game first, because in the first
battle he lets the Galileo fight with a Klingon Super Commander.
Next there are some easy battles; in the one but last battle, a
Romulan ship disappeared from Quadrant 1 - 2, Sector 3 - 1.
Captain Kirk did not notice this in the next battle at Quadrant 1 - 2.
The Enterprise has nowhere to go, but the Commander can move to Sector
3 - 1, and Kirk loses another ship...
He then decides he might be better at real missions :)

Sorry, no DECwrite, I won't even deal with docx :)
ASCII txt and RTF with basic formatting only, and if you want pictures / diagrams, mark the spot where you'd like it wrt to the text with [* ... *], for example:
--- SNIP ---
This is my newest MLP, Candlestick, still in it's box: [** candle.jpg **] I prefer to keep my MLPs boxed since I don't feel I am ready for the type of relationship touching would entail.
--- SNIP ---
(No offence to bronies out there intended, just had to make something up the spot.)
Then just send me a ZIP of text and all the images.
If you have an editor that can create RTFD, you can dispense with the [* ... *] notation as the doc will have the pics in the right place (remember that RTFDs are bundles and need to be zipped).
The magazine is laid out in columns like a "proper" magazine (easier to read) but it's hard to promise EXACTLY where a picture will go in your submission. We'll run the submission by you before going live of course, and correct it as much as possible

`tcpdump -vvvi tap0`
Yep, I'll try that tonight. Gotta go now.
You bridged tap0 to your external interface, right?
No. In fact, that's the whole point - to keep HECnet traffic off of my
real Ethernet.
tap0 is connected to only two things - Johnny's bridge, and QNA-1 (xqb on
simh). QNA-0 (xq on simh) is connected to my physical Ethernet. VMS sees
both and, if necessary, routes DECnet across them.
Bob
Recent simh versions no longer need any external program to work with tap
devices.
Mark -
I was just looking at this. Looks like in simh you now say
attach xq tap:tap0
What does that do that
attach xq tap0
does not? Does the first one make simh create the tap device? That doesn't
really help in this case - the problem is that I need to run Johnny's bridge
on tap0 too, so it needs to already exist before I start simh. tunctl is
still the only answer.
Thanks,
Bob
On Sun, 10 Nov 2013, Bob Armstrong wrote:
`ifconfig <interface> promisc`
That's too easy :-)
Sadly, it doesn't seem to fix anything. Both the bridge and simh are
connected to tap0, apparently w/o error, but no messages seem to be going
anywhere.
`tcpdump -vvvi tap0`
You bridged tap0 to your external interface, right?
