Follow up: I "upgraded" to DECnet PhaseIV, everything is working swimmingly.

Name resolution with DECnet-Plus

by sampsa＠mac.com

I have finally managed to get my machine to talk to HECnet, unfortunately I can only access remote machines by their numeric address, not by node name. I am running DECnet-Plus on OpenVMS 8.3, with the name resolution set to local. Any idea how I can get this to resolve PhaseIV addresses? Sampsa

Faceplate or floor stand for DS20E

by bob＠jfcl.com

A friend of mine was giving away some AlphaServer DS20E (it s a long story :-). It s hardly even an antique, being less than ten years old, but on a whim I decided to take one. I m glad I did; it s a really nice server. Works great, has four 9.1Gb 10K SCSI drives (sadly mine doesn t have the 6 slot SCSI chassis), and 4Gb of DRAM. Yes, 4Gb of RAM; that s a lot for a 2000 vintage machine. I m tempted load OpenVMS 8.3 and use it to replace LEGATO, if I can afford the approximately 300kWh/month electric bill. Unfortunately the machines were the rack mount configuration and are for some reason missing their faceplates, and it s kind of ugly. Does anybody have an extra DS20 faceplate that they can spare? Even better would be a set of floor pedestal skins for the DS20. Thanks, Bob

New IP Address

Bob Armstrong wrote: My new IP address is 82.8.22.230 Ok, done. I'll keep chrissie.homelinux.net up to date if that helps. Unfortunately neither my router nor Multinet can use DNS to generate rules - the IP has to be put in manually. Yes, I know that about multinet, annoying isn't it! Just to give advance warning, I'll be away from the 20th to the 26th July, so Zarqon will be offline then too. If the weather stays as it is, he will be back on soon after I get back though.

New IP Address

by christine.caulfield＠googlemail.com

Sorry folks, my IP address changed again. I just powered up Zarqon (we're having a cold summer here!) and it's not talking to anything. My new IP address is 82.8.22.230 I'll keep chrissie.homelinux.net up to date if that helps. If you're using home.tykepenguin.com then be aware that I'm going to let it expire in October. So it'll probably end up as a porn site ;-) -- Chrissie

Howling VAX

This is actually the second time I've had this problem, the last time as I recall, after being down for a few months, I tried upgrading to either my Model 60 or Model 90, only to discover it wouldn't really fit, AND than the VLC had stopped howling. I really need to figure out some kind of noise enclosure for our Dining Room that will allow proper cooling of the hardware! I'm getting sick of the noise that the two 3-drive JBOD boxes with 10,000RPM SCSI drives make, and the XP1000 they're connected to is just about as noisy. :^( The fact that she hasn't complained about the noise goes to show just how understanding of a wife I have!
