OK, there are two new changesets. One to fix the missing update and one to fix the warnings on format strings.

Could someone help me with a 1-minute test please?

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I just need someone to try to SET HOST to a non-existent node in my area (area 5), eg 5.500. You should get an unreachable error, but you may timeout instead, that is the problem I am trying to diagnose. If someone does try it please let me know what happens at your end. Thanks Rob

Here is an extract from the README: User Mode DECnet Router Readme ============================== This program is a DECnet router that implements version 2.0 of the DECnet routing specification found here: http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/docs/route20.txt Features -------- 1. Runs on Windows either as a Windows Service, or as a console program. 2. Runs on Linux as a daemon. 3. Full routing capability, so it avoids broadcasting all routing messages to entire network and kills looping packets. 4. Supports Ethernet (using pcap/winpcap). 5. Supports Johnny's bridge. 6. Can be extended to support other kinds of circuit (Cisco and Multinet might be examples, not tried). 7. Does dynamic DNS updates without blocking. Limitations ----------- 1. Only tested on Windows Server 2003 and Raspberry Pi running Debian. 2. Does not support Phase III nodes. 3. Although it can be configured as a Level 1 node, Level 1 is not fully supported. It has only been tested as a Level 2 (area router) node. 4. Limited testing on Raspberry Pi. 5. Performance not tested. 6. Not tested with multiple ethernets. 7. Limited testing with multiple bridges. Regards Rob

Excellent! I'll download and play when I have some free time!! -brian On Sep 8, 2012, at 4:04, "Rob Jarratt" <robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com> wrote: I have published everything up on CodePlex now.

DECserver 200/MC - Worth a Punt?

by sampsa＠mac.com

Got one here as a console server, works great. Same model too. Recommended.

Looks to be untested save for that it powers on. I've been looking for a DECServer that works on 10-baseT for a while. What do you mean by "punt"? Anyway, in general I like the DECserver 200 and 300. And there are pretty much always machines online on HECnet which can boot them. (Both MIM:: and PONDUS:: for example.) Johnny
