PDXVAX - 40MB Memory - VAXstation 4000/VLC?

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

I noted a couple of weeks ago that PDXVAX is listed as a VAXstation 4000/VLC with 40MB of memory. Is this true? If it is, can someone tell me what memory chips are installed, as I have a 4000/VLC which is 'apparently' maxed out at 24 MB (6 SIMMS) Regards, Mark (wondering whether the 32MB min. RAM requirement for ALL-IN-1 is hard and fast)

DECNET over PPP?

by sampsa＠mac.com

I recently came across this: "RFC1762 - The PPP DECnet Phase IV Control Protocol (DNCP)" -- (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1762.html) What kind of software/hardware supports this? Anyone interested in having a play if it's deployable with reasonable effort? Sampsa

Good idea - done!

Looks like you are bouncing between two routers, one of which is faulty at the moment (PONDUS). Why you would get to PONDUS, I don't know. I know it is faulty because adjacency is down. The problem with PONDUS is that it can stop receiving ethernet packets, but is still sending. There is a bug somewhere inside the DECnet driver, which I'd like to find, if I just had the sources... I'll have someone kick on PONDUS on sunday, when someone is physically close to the machine again. An endnode normally should pick the router with the highest priority, which can be heard. MIM is at 96, and should be picked, unless something else is funny. PONDUS should only be at 64, even if it is working. Johnny Oleg Safiullin wrote: Hi. Is something wrong with subj?

Thanks for the positive feedback! The obvious thing to add is a HECNETINFO command, that displays this file on a given host - we want this information to be easily accessible from the DCL side as well rather than just the Web, I think.

I can get them up onto a hecnet accessible drive, or an ftp site - let me know which you'd prefer. It'd have to be ftp for now. I need to get my new Linux box up and running before I can get hooked-up to Hecnet. Cheers, Andrew -- Andrew Back a at smokebelch.org
