Announcement: We've rolled out a retro UUCP network, UUHEC.net

by neozeed＠gmail.com

I'd love to get involved in a UUCP over IP network...!

Let me know if anyone wants to join in, it's a giggle, really*. I'll even route real internet mail for interested parties** - we have registered the UUHEC.net domain for this purpose. Sampsa * Seriously, check out the crazy Waffle BBS software by logging into CHIMPY as the user B4BBS and then log on as WAFFLE at B4BBS. It's default messages keep cracking me up, random Zippy the Pinhead quotes all over the place. ** Within reason.

Re: DECnet kit for RT-11

by davidson＠declab.net

The XC handler was done at the same time (give or take) as XU and XQ. It is done with a prefix file (.INCLUDE) of the common source for X?. I will have to boot up my Pro to say for sure. It did ship in the V5.x timeframe with the Pro kit. I'm trying to remember if I have a copy of the XC source listing. If not I'd be interested in one. The reason is that I've long wanted to make an XC driver for DECnet/E. The main thing holding me back is the utter disgustingness of that Ethernet chip... paul Paul, Contact me offline to discuss. -Steve

OK, done. Can you elaborate on the watching bit - I'm a tad confused.... Sampsa On 7 Jun 2010, at 01:59, Gregg Levine wrote: Hello! I am always interested.

Also, you must have different/newer fans in yours - mine make a hell of a racket! I will agree with being slow :-) I find that it's not too bad though. Unfortunately I don't have the space to get the 4000/90 up and running. I too had noisy fans, but after a healthy dose of contact cleaner and oil they are almost silent. Maybe they just need a good clean? I wonder if that's what mine needs. It probably is. The stuff coming out of mine was scary! I'm trying to remember if the PS was totally dead, or if it was howling to the point I couldn't run it in the dining room (actually that wouldn't be a problem now that it lives in the garage). I've been wondering if the fans are replaceable. I was able to find the fans in the parts catalogue of the local electronics store. The only thing is, the fans sit in a small rubber sleeve that holds then in the power supply. Don't throw away the sleeve! The fans slip right out. Tim.
