Let us know what you find. I remember alphavm free having very slow networking for me as well.

Mark,
Send me email off-line. I can take a look if need be.

Sorry for the issues caused by SLAVE.
I'm attempting to configure up alphavm free to emulate SLAVE
- and it's been going quite well but networking is an issue -
in particular performance.
I'm using a dedicated network card but it's currently *real*
slow. If anyone has any tips I'd be grateful...
Oh, and I've officially disobeyed orders:

Greetings,
This is not a very easy message to write. After about 13+ years of running
AlphaServers, I will be decommissioning them in two weeks. As sometimes it
takes a while to find new owners for these machines, I'm sending this message
in advance to gauge interest in taking them. They are:
DEC AlphaServer 1200: (1) 533 MHz 21164A-2 CPU (until recently, it had two of
these. One is now showing a fan error. Perhaps, if you replaced the fan, it
still might work, if the board is OK), 1 GB ECC RAM, (2) 9.1 GB disks (one is
DEC OEM :]), (2) 18.2 GB disks, (3) 36.4 GB disks, (2) DEC DE500-XA 100 Mbit ethernet adapters, ARC Logic 2000PV VGA adapter (2 MB RAM?), QLogic 1020 Fast Wide SCSI HBA, Mylex RAID DAC960P/PD controller with 8 MB RAM.
DEC AlphaServer 4100: (4) 467 MHz 21164A-2 CPUs (one of these is dying, but I
have a replacement for it), 1 GB ECC RAM, (2) 9.1 GB disks (one is also DEC
OEM :]), (2) 18.2 GB disks, (3) 36.4 GB disks, (2) DEC DE500-[A,B]A 100 Mbit
ethernet adapters, S3 Trio32/64 VGA adapter (1 MB RAM?), QLogic 1020 Fast Wide
SCSI HBA, Mylex RAID DAC960P/PD controller with 8 MB RAM, (2) 9.1 GB disks
configured RAID1, (4) 9.1 GB disks configured RAID5, another (4) 9.1 GB disks
configured RAID5, (3) 9.1 GB disks configure RAID5. That makes (3)
StorageWorks arrays in the pedestal.
Pictures of the machines are available upon request. There's probably some other goodies in the box at the colo. I can't remember what's inside. Definitely, I have (3) DS 1287 TOY (time of year) chips. These are not very easy to find.
These machines are available to (in order of priority):
1) NetBSD/alpha port maintainers;
2) NetBSD/alpha developers;
3) pkgsrc developers (any platform);
4) NetBSD developers;
5) Developers of any other open source project;
6) The general public;
First person(s) in those categories showing interest gets them. You don't have
to take both; you can just take one if for some reason you don't want both.
I'm not parting them out, though. They've available for pickup in Troy, MI,
UNITED STATES, and I can coordinate with the colo for you. The colo will also
ship these machines for me, if you are willing to pay the shipping. In that
case, they're not limited to any particular geographic area.
The members of these lists have 14 days to declare interest/work out the
logistics of procuring these machines. Any other ideas for finding new owners
is also welcome.
Best regards,
rodent@
Sounds like a good idea.
Mark, please provide me with the following information:
your IP:
Is IP dynamic:
hostname:
your area number:
the source interface:
The email you want config alerts sent to:
The snmp community you want me to use:
For snmp, please protect it with an ACL:
snmp-server community <your community name here> RW 10
access-list 10 permit 199.166.5.172

I think the only person this affected was Cory. Everyone else's IPs don't change so the tunnels would have been fine.

I need to do a manual push when I get home for Cory. If you've made updates to the acl the next push to you will succeed.
