"hecnet", sans brackets and quotes.

Oh, and remember, from VMS, you'll need to be coming from a pre-8.x
machine (as far as I can tell), using "SET HOST/APPL=RTERM MECCA". You
may need to hop through something.
Johnny, maybe you can test login from an RSX system?
Works, just like Oleg reported. However, why is the date set to 1999 on that system? It's RSTS/E V10.1, that should be Y2K capable.
I also had a chance to notice that RSX (apparently like VMS) tries CTERM first, and when that fails, it falls back to trying RTERM. However, it tries the RSX flavour, which also fails.
But RRS works fine.

Don't forget we'd need an ERP to maintain list subscribers, their contacts and equipment.

Good question. I'm not sure if the (old version of) majordomo we're
running have that function.
hah.. we are running the latest version of majordomo, which is > 10
years old. I've patched it to work with later perl versions. But now I'm
trying to stay out of it. There has been talk of giving majordomo the
boot and install something else.

What about Micro$oft .NET ? :) (ducks)
Just kidding of course.
Being serious for a moment, what about mailman?
Mailman is what we've been looking at as the most likely replacement.
Whenever we get around to it.. :)

33.305 (MNCSTR)
added to the master node database please?
(yeah, I know I skipped 33.304)
Thanks!
(unrelated: but I see there's a DARMOK and JALAD in the nodelist, are they by chance virtual machines running on a host named TANAGRA? ;) )
Database updated.

Only if its Visual J# .NET or whatever it was renamed to last.

No objections here. Mailman could also give us pipermail archives.
We could also set up a little UUCP and NNTP on UNIX VMs network ;) link them together with simh's serial line emulation and simulate modems...unless we do KERMIT crontabs.

When you installed RSTS/E and configured DECnet, what options did you
give? I want to see what I did wrong. Did you do anything after
installing the layered product that was special or did you configure
it in the little installer thingy?
I did this awhile ago, but I don't recall having configured anything
particularly special. I'll go through it again and see if anything comes to mind. I'll probably do that tomorrow.

My lady and I walked up to the PDP-11 and I explained that there was a
guy in Russia logged into the machine. She very much liked that. :-)
