Mark -
You can put in an MX record for *.mail11.hecnet.eu that points to
mail.jfcl.com if you want. I have no objection, but if you do be sure to
let me know so that I can configure my SMTP server to accept mail for that
domain (otherwise you'll get "550 Relay not allowed...").
If you want to host my DCN Node List on that site it'd be nice. Just give
me a place to put it and a way to upload updates.
Bob

Subject: [HECnet] Domain registration hecnet.eu
Guys,
I've just registered hecnet.eu - should be sorted within 24 hours.
So, if we can agree amongst ourselves the best way forward with a mail
gateway then I can point mail.hecnet.eu (or some variant) to the
designated gateway.
I'm going to create a website under www.hecnet.eu - this will be a
community effort between us all I'm anticipating, so how would you like
to go forward - it'll be hosted on the newly acquired vaxstation
4000/VLC under WASD ideally, and what I'd like to do is open it up so
that people can edit files directly via hecnet to add their bit. Is that
an agreeable course of action?
Regards, Mark.

Suggestion: If we include external IP addresses for any nodes that have them in those data files we discussed yesterday, could we populate the DNS with these (i.e. chimpy.hecnet.eu points at CHIMPY's external IP address)?

DNS wasn't my problem, I do resolve to the new address. But it still
cannot be telneted to. Unreachable. I suspect a routing issue on the
remote side, if in fact TINA is up.

While we're on the subject, PAMINA is unreachable via telnet, and I
haven't been able to telnet into TINA in almost 2 weeks. Any idea
what's been happening at update? I miss TINA's othello. :)
TINA has moved to 130.238.12.208 (from 130.238.8.42). The DNS entries
should be updated by now. I guess Bj rn forgon to tell hecnet at update :)

Thanks,

Oh, you want updates? :-)
Let's see...
FNATTE have been decomissioned for good, I think.
PONDUS is now an 11/93 with 4 MB.
PAMINA is also KLH-10

Where is PDXVAX still noted as a 4000/VLC?
Well, on my list for one.

Bob,
Good info! I will take a look at this over the weekend.
I wish I had extra parts for the AXP 2000 series. One of mine has bad memory and it has been a real pain to deal with. The working ones have 256MB and for those machine that's a lot. They need those panels for not only dust but because the fans expect them in place for proper cooling. I'm still looking for AHA-1742 rev G2 controllers so I can expand the disk space. Max drive size is 8.0GB due to a limit in the controller firmware. These were the first Alpha's produced so they are probably the slowest.
The 21066-based Multia is a dog too.
Peace... Sridhar

Not much, I would imagine. A Jensen is the slowest Alpha (or does that
honor go to the Multia? Can't remember...) but still, Multinet runs just
fine on a VAX - even the slowest Alpha ought to be blazingly fast in
comparison :-)
Isn't the last generation NVAX a good bit faster than the first generation Alpha?
Peace... Sridhar

"because we can ..."
In fact, I've been using that phrase a lot lately - with simple VPN's, some Asterisk VoIP stuff, and some plans I have for my VMS systems. Someone asks me "Why would you want to do that?"
"Because I can."

Lets call it for what it is - "legacy" is a term that people use in a
polite but derogatory manner to imply that the future direction they
prefer is not that which they view as the current direction.
I've got a business class Internet connection (FiOS), so I'm also glad to help out by providing e-mail gatewaying through PMDF. I don't yet have PMAS (anti-spam) installed, but I can put that on easily enough as well.
We could even set up a wildcard MX record so that any HECnet system would be addressable directly as user at hecnet-node.hecnet.eu.

I agree with Johnny, "Because it can be done" is a perfectly valid

"Because it can be done" is how HECnet got its start in the first place. :)

Ok, in response to popular demand I have restored the original
MAIL11<->SMTP gateway that used to be on LEGATO.
To send SMTP mail out from HECnet, just address it to
CODA::SMTP%"some-user at some-internet-domain.com".
To send SMTP mail into HECnet, address it to "user at node.mail11.jfcl.com"
where "user" and "node" are your DECnet node name and the user name on your
local machine.
If everything is working correctly, the return addresses should be written
such that it's possible to reply in either direction to a message originated
on either side.
As before, I've exempted all DECnet mail from any SPAM filtering, so try
not to put this address on any web pages or sign up for any mailing lists
with it. If you do, I'm just going to start forwarding all my SPAM to you
:-)
Bob
