Area 54

by HECNET＠beyondthepale.ie

I can say nothing for Italian network, but for Croatian I can assure you it's Slovenian, does not use area 54 and can be squeezed to any area with ten or twenty unoccupied addresses. Hi Rok, Apologies - I should have taken more careful note of your correction before I posted. I've even been to Ljubljana several years ago and I have some idea of issues in the region. All I can say by way of excuse is that email is an excellent tool for putting ones foot in ones mouth :-( Regards, Peter Coghlan.

And since it seems area 3 is about to cleared up, you can keep using that, and have all 1023 addresses to play with, without any problems. Let me know if you need more... :-) Johnny

Area 54

I'd say that you can probably take area 54. I should check with Tore, if he's still around, but since it hasn't been used in all this time, odds are that you are free to go. I knew Tore from the cctech list. In fact I gave him a Vaxstation 3100 which once lived in area 54 - maybe that's why he asked for that area :-) I haven't seen any communication from Tore for a long time now. Perhaps he has lost interest and moved on to other things? Is there anyone in the Italian or Croatian networks using area 54 at the moment? I don't want to cause any difficulties if these networks become connected to HECnet. On the subject of connecting to HECnet, would anyone be interested in being the other end of a Multinet link to my network? I have a fixed ip address which is up all the time and at least two of my DECnet capable machines are running all the time. I think I have all the needed bits and pieces of software and licenses. Sounds like we should be able to get you up and running in no time. Great stuff - thanks. Regards, Peter Coghlan.

Her response was too Rok's request to juse area 3. Once her nodes are in area 6 you can merge the Croatian net without a problem. -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Billquist <bqt at softjar.se> Sender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 17:11:44 To: <hecnet at Update.UU.SE> Reply-To: hecnet at Update.UU.SESubject: Re: [HECnet] Integrating with the Italian network.

I only have a three nodes now, and only one of those is an actual piece of DEC hardware. So if someone else wants area 3 I'd be happy to change my nodes. If it helps keep the Area 1 confusion to a minimum I could 'adopt' Chrissie's machines into Area 6. My area router is pretty stable and I'm on a fixed IP with no bandwidth limits. Let me know if this is needed. Moving Chrissies machines from area 3 to area 6 help in no way with area 1. However, it might be a good idea to do that move anyway. It will free area 3, which it would appear is not needed by Chrissie, and it allows a new member to connect without having to do any renumbering. So, if Chrissie don't mind, then let's get that worked over. The node list for area 3 that I have looks like this: NODE NODE NAME ADDRESS JELTZ 3.2 ARTHUR 3.10 MARSHA 3.30 TRISHA 3.31 FORD 3.32 ROOSTA 3.34 ZARQON 3.35 ZAPHOD 3.55 FENTIB 3.60 Could Chrissie and you, Mark, work this over and give me an update?
