No, I still don't have any compilers even though I obviously have the licenses to run them. :(
Is there anyone here with a DSPP membership or something who could get me the distributions?

I have finally managed to get my rx2600 running, it's accesible on HECnet with the host name RHESUS (1.403).
It's a dual Itanium 900MHz, 8 GB of RAM, one 146 GB disk running OpenVMS 8.3-1H1. Let me know if you want an
account, esp. for stuff like porting software across to IA64.
Fun. So now I've played with a PDP-11 running RSX, talking to an Itanium box running VMS. Talk about a leap across computer generations and timelines.

I'm very happy your Itanium is running fine! :-) Speaking about the IA64 kit,
I think that discretion is a must: I've not told you how we knew about it, and
you should't say who told you about it, let's say some friend gave you a
helping hand. :-) For the very same reason I think it would not be very safe
to publish the URLs on-list or in other public places, but if someone asks
privately I think (s)he should be provided with the URLs, along with a
recommendation about the discretion issue and the importance of this "secret".

MISER, my AlphaStation 255/233 looks in your general direction with envy.
Where did you end up finding an install DVD? I remember reading in c.o.v. where you trying to get the beast up and running but my newshost isn't the best, and I never saw the outcome.
Glad to hear it worked out well.
Cheers,

Is it possible to join HECNet with a DECNet Phase V rig?
I'm not currently on HECnet due to problems on my end. My Area Router
PDXVAX has always run Multinet and DECnet Phase IV. However MONK originally
ran DECnet Phase V before I *upgraded* it to Phase IV. He should simply be
able to connect with a UNIX box running Johnny's bridge program. Though
with Phase V he might have some difficulty talking to some non-VMS systems
(it has been a long time, but I'm pretty sure that's why I upgraded to Phase
IV).
I believe DECnet Phase V supports DECnet over IP, but I don't know if he'd
be able to use this to connect into HECnet.
Zane
Certainly.
Several have done so.
However, I think almost all have switched back to phase IV after a while, since phase V just makes things much more difficult, while not really gaining anything.
However, without using Multinet, he'll have to use my bridge program to get connected.

Good afternoon:
An associate of mine and I were talking OpenVMS about a week ago, and I mentioned this hobbyist DECNet I was on. He never heard of such a thing, and wondered if he would be able to get on with his DECNet Phase V set-up. From what I understand, his address is static. He frowned at me when I told him I was running MultiNet - I guess he likes TCP/IP Services ... ;) (to each his own of cours, I have no preference and installed what was needed to get on HECNet with my set-up).

He's in the Columbus Ohio area.

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.
