I can't telnet to MIM.Update.UU.SE nor can I ping it from my Cisco ( the

Is MIM down or have I broken something?
Seems as if MIM is down, yes. I'm hoping to have caught E11 in a bug, which I will be able to examine once I get home in an hour.
Expect MIM to back up and running in a couple of hours (I hope).

It's basically the VMS kit that contains the DS200 load software, but it
comes with several useful command procedures too.

You are looking for Terminal server booting configuration management rather than terminal server configuration (ports etc) management, right?

It's unreachable from here too:

Neat! Thanks for the pointer. I've always just gotten the bare images and
dropped them into place...I guess I never stopped to think of how those
images would've gotten installed in the first place.
When I was a VMS sysadmin, we used a few Emulex terminal servers
("Performance 4000" if memory serves) that were really nice...I don't recall
them having to boot from the network, though. I have a few of those here
with dead power supplies. I should send them to Cory. ;)
They did and they had their own kludgy load assist agent for MOP.
Ahh, your memory is better than mine! Could they boot from the regular MOP
server or did they require that agent?
I don't remember the explicit details. I recall that Emulex and Xyplex had
tertiary boot loaders. The DECserver 90s and 700s and 900s began to support
TCP/IP and most sites dropped their Emulex and Xyplex servers at that time.
The Datability (Vista) Terminal Servers had their software in flash.
Never 'eard of 'em.
http://www.thecomputerarchive.com/archive/Computer%20Components%20and%20Acc…
Datability chassis could accept modules with 25 pin, 9 pin or MMJ connectors,
as well as 50 pin telco connectors which allowed one to connect a trunk with
a single cable to a harmonica of MMJ connectors at some more remote location.
The number of ports it could support was based upon the number of connectors
that could be housed on the back apron of the module. The MMJ options offer
the densest port configurations with 32 on each module and 4 modules/chassis.
IIRC, Datability was HQed in Carlstadt, north JoyZee.

They probably had a ROM (or EPROM or FLASH) with the complete firmware in
them - there was a low end DECserver (I forget the number) that did too.

Send me one too - I need another terminal server!

Linux is 95% politics, 3% needless ABI/API changes, 1% new features, 1%
championing a twisted version of freedom.
This generally applies to both the kernel and the distros...Linux inherited
the nonstandard standards and incompatibility-across-distros thing from UNIX
unfortunately. :(
LSB is NOT standard...RedHat is also not the Gold Standard for a
commercial linux or a linux period.

Do you, seriously? (and didn't we discuss this before? bad memory here)
I have many spare 200/MCs, I'd be happy to send you one or two. The Emulex
TSs really do have blown power supplies. All of them, I think.
If you have plenty of them, I have a DS300 in need of a new PS here... ;-) (It's the same as the 200)
