Apparently some routing problems with our ISP (alma mater). Don't know
much details.

As a side note, if psilo.update.uu.se is down, then nothing of the
bridged network will work, since that is the true hub of things.
MIM and PONDUS can both be working perfectly fine, but without psilo
they can't even talk to each other.
However, at the moment PONDUS is turned off. I'm in the US for three
weeks, and figured that I might spear my wife the hum of PONDUS when
I'm not around. :-)
All that said, I can't seem to get contact with psilo either right
now, so it do seem to be some general network problems somewhere.

Obvious answer: psilo is back online, but MIM is crashed.
Rebooting...

Johnny,
That's the weird thing, my bridge link to you is up and I can see e.g. CTAKAH fine - just none of your systems...

Whereabouts? Is there a chance of a get-together?
Peace... Sridhar

The irony of history.
LAT and DECservers were invented so that machines no longer would need to have local ports.
Now you are using LAT and DECservers to access machine local ports. :-)
Yes. I know what you mean, and what you want to do. However, DEC did definitely not envisage that. Their intention was the exact opposite.
All that said, it is mostly doable under VMS, but it requires that you write some software yourself.

No I see how my way of doing it might seem backwards, I mean why share a modem from a host machine when terminal servers were invented for doing it?
Doesn't mean it wouldn't be a nice feature to have :)

What pays to remember is that once you had LAT and DECservers, you didn't use serial ports on your VAX anymore, especially not on a site where you had several VAXen. You *obviously* had DECservers if you were using LAT, and you *obviously* wanted to put the modem on the DECserver if you had one, and *especially* if you wanted to access the modem from several machines.
So yes, it's an obvious idea, and it had an obvious answer. It's just you who are trying to do things backwards... :-)
