There's PHONE, which works on VMS and RSX, at least, maybe more.

Well if you've got a better and more DEC oriented I'm open to running that too... :)

Guys,
I've set up an IRC server for our use on silverback.sampsa.com port 6655 (non-standard port, I know).
I'll be hanging out on channel #hecnet as often as I can.
There's something about using IRC for DEC stuff that strikes me as inconsistent. (I'm being a real DEC/VMS bigot here...)
Better if there were a multi-user version of PHONE. :)
DECNotes isn't real time...
Alas - I'm not entitled to an opinion, since my systems off-line now anyway!

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

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?

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

Top posting, to keep it short.
I could place one of those Ciscos at Update.
I have one for you, I just forgot to send it out. It's already loaded with the DECnet area routing package.
Send me your address again, and I promise to send it out this week.
Peace... Sridhar

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.
