Anyone familiar with the timeline for renewing Hobbyist licenses lately? I registered on the HPE site. In the past the turnaround was very quick, but it's been several days and nothing; so curious if this is the new timeline. thanks Mike

GRE Peering

by tomas＠prybil.se

Dear fellow HECNETers I?ve been using Johnnys bridge for a year or so, (thank you Johnny!) and wanted do some additional networking. Before going full gre peering is there anyone out there that could act as intermediate peer to do some testing while I try not to break anything (!) On my side I have good network connectivity, but unfortunately no static IP :/ The box I?m using is a 2610XM with ios ver 12.4 Happy if anyone is willing to share their connectivity BR /t

Linux-DecNet and DecNet for DOS

by gregg.drwho8＠gmail.com

Hello! Right now I am busily trying to get an installation of the Linux for DecNet code to work on Slackware-11.0 Linux. The end result there would be to have it talk to a terminal server, a Model 90L design in fact. The last time I tried this out it was on a dedicated card wearing a COAX connector, and in a different machine, again running Slackware-11.0. It was being uncooperative then. The terminal server that is. However I have here both versions of DecNet for DOS that were released via BitSavers, would any of you know if these individuals running inside DOSBox would besides working, want to connect to the previously described Linux application? I figure if I can get that to work, I can sort out the details for the currently related problem. Incidentally I am also seeing if I can get that stuff to build properly on this laptop inside the WSL instance of SLES12SP3. That way I can take my problems to my hacker community meetings. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

DECnet on Ubuntu 14.04

by bob＠jfcl.com

Can anybody tell me the secret to making DECnet work on Ubuntu 14.04 (Precise)? Yes, this release is out of date but it's the one I need to use for other compatibility reasons. I installed the dnet-common, dnet-progs and libdnet packages from the standard repository. I configured the /etc/decnet.conf and dnet.conf files (and I don't care about decnet.proxy just yet). Nothing seems to give an error, the dnetd daemon is running, and the MAC of my eth0 has been changed to match my DECnet address. dneigh shows the correct adjacent routing node on the network. But nothing can communicate. All the DECnet commands (sethost, dnping, etc) give "socket: no such device" errors, and all the other DECnet machines on the network think the Linux host is unavailable. I seem to remember that there was some problem with the DECnet startup with upstart, but I don't remember the details and Google isn't being helpful today. Thanks, Bob
