How do you even add new features to a hammer? Do you make it electric and capable of making coffee? ;)
I dunno, but you can bet yer butt that somewhere there's some clueless
moron who is trying to figure out a way to replace a hammer with a
Windows box.
Hmm. I wonder if it'd be possible to make a USB-powered hammer
What's the USB spec say is the maximum length of a USB cable without signal amplification?

I do, at least 2-3 years, but not quite to the level of VMS.
That's more my point. Linux can stay up for awhile at the risk of kernel-level security issues. But not on the level of VMS.
I do still intend to prove that NT 4 can stay up for awhile if administrated properly.

Well, I guess I would have to agree with Dave on that point. What is the
point of replacing it if it does exactly what you want? The FreeBSD boxen
that we were running was V4.10. No, it would not do 64bit, no, it was not
the latest and greatest. But the systems were fully tested long before
they were put into operation, and we had a specific goal in mind. These
were the production boxen so they were not used for new ideas. The new
machines that we put in are expected to live as they are for about 5 years
(give or take a year for some measure of budget).

Actually, these are all new systems. The old ones were taken out last
summer. Most of them were FreeBSD systems with over 4 years of uptime.
The only reason they were replaced was old hardware starting to fail.
FreeBSD is a bit safer to leave on an older kernel for longer amounts of time.
Although you find the occasional RedHat 5 box running 2.2...
Most any system that is managed properly (hmm..except maybe Wanderz) can
yield the same results. Our RSTS systems always had ?????? for uptimes
as the field could only hold enough information for a month.
Hey, even NT 4 can remain up for a long time if properly managed. It's just absolutely nobody knows how to properly manage NT 4. Mind, this only applies to NT 4.

put it in the mid-1990s.
(b) Approximately how long is the up-time between re-boots?
Again I have no idea. (this is my mother's place of employment, 1200mi
from here, not mine) Let's put it this way, though...it's likely that
this machine is running VMS, and it's not at all unusual for VMS systems
to have uptimes in the 5+ year range. If it didn't get those sorts of
uptimes, it probably would've annoyed someone and gotten replaced by now.
(c) Do they have any virus problems?
(d) Have they ever been hacked into?
ROFL!!! I haven't had a laugh this good on a long time. ;)
Other information such as the physical details would also be
interesting along with the number of users. Anything else
your mother felt willing to share would provide the list
members with good hard information.
She's pretty busy in her new assignment, but I'm sure she can do some
digging. I'd love to find out more myself.

Good question. I just let it use the default font, whatever that is.
Also, I just looked and noticed that Ctrl-Right Mouse shows an option
for enabling double sized characters. Do you have that, and is it enabled?
CTRL-MB3 ;) shows that they are selected. Same here too with default font.

I've mentioned this to one or two folks here privately, but now that
it has come up...My mother is a journalist with Associated Press, and
she recently took a new assignment in a different city. Their office
has a VAX-4000 running VMS, handling some sort of database. They love
it, and they have no plans to migrate away from it.
It would be appreciated if a few interesting aspects concerning
the system were shared so we could understand how such a
mature system manages to compete.
(a) When was the system first installed?
(b) Approximately how long is the up-time between re-boots?
(c) Do they have any virus problems?

With the menu stuff, you have to enable the SMTP service first and then it need to be started separately. You can do that using the startup command procedure (script):
$ @sys$startup:tcpip$smtp_startup.com
In case you have enabled SMTP (and other TCPIP services) it will start automatically next time you start TCPIP.

If you mean in the long winded menu options, yes. If you mean fettling
about with the start up scripts, no.

Hi,
I've asked this one before....
If I try to send mail out by SMTP% I get a message sayin that
the queue
is not started.
Aside from "start the queue", does anyone have any useful advice?
VMS 7.3 btw

Just checking, have you started the SMTP service in TCPIP?
