Just thought I'd mention from yesterdays conversation. It loks like for linux there maybe some kernel update rpms for using decnet with linux. This is something I'm interested in. IDK about anyone else.

Can I take my copy of VMS which does not have installed phave iv or decnet plus and load one of them to use these commands? They weren't there earlier today but I don't have networking installed with VMS.

@sys$manager:netconfig // is involved.

Hi Steve,
I'll be going as I reside around the corner from InfoAge. I'll can lend you
& VCF a hand with anything DEC & VMS.

I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
I've got a 2620 and an 861 which anyone can have for the cost of shipping.

Well, between the two of you decide who wants the 1841 and who wants the 1811w. :)

Just wanted to let people know that I have ported my user mode router on to
VAXELN, running on an rtVAX 1000 (KA620), and it is up on HECnet.
There are some compromises, and it is pretty slow at the moment, with
adjacencies dropping from time to time, but if you see a router at 5.30 then
it is VAXELN.
Right now it is running on the real hardware, but as that is noisy and uses
155W of power then it won't be around very often. For development purposes I
also run it on SIMH where it is a bit quicker, but that will also be
intermittent. The machine is diskless and has only one Ethernet adapter, so
it is running raw packets on the LAN and talking to Johnny's bridge using
UDP, it is acting as my router to HECnet. You should be able to reach nodes
at 5.11, 5.99 and 5.100, but it *will* be slow.
Next steps will be to make it more efficient.
Regards
Rob
Guys,
Just saw this, I'm going to buy in instance tonight and see if I can get SIMH to run on it (and ideally maybe the bridge)..

PS: I've nothing to do with the company, just thought it might be a interesting platform to play on, especially if it comes with a static IP..
