VAXman, is the DECNET on EISNER actually connected to anything?
Not likely. There was a time but EISNER moved from the home of its old
caretaker (Terry Kennedy) to its new location and it is now just stand-
alone.
SO close...I have most everything else DEC-related of Terry's.
Really!
Yep. Do you know Bill Gunshannon?
I once spent an afternoon with Terry in his place in Jersey City. One would
never have guessed, from the looks of the place outside, what he had and was
running on the inside.
I'll bet! I myself never had the pleasure.

Well that should make things simpler connection-wise, even if they had to change area / node number since there's only one box anyway. Let's hope the rest of the admins go for it.

Cool, thanks. I hope they're open to the idea, I don't see any major obstacles myself (they've already got DECNET installed, MULTINET will make a simple connection, and they're open to the public via IP anyway).
Just remember to mention that there are a lot of other systems than VMS on HECnet which could be interesting for their userbase.

I would think that, as a bunch of DECheads, many in the EISNER crowd
would very much enjoy exposure to some other DEC OSs that they likely
haven't seen in decades.
Could be another "selling point" to convince them to join, if our side =

I just think HECnet is very cool, has some great systems on it and feel =
we should share it with fellow DEC enthusiasts. EISNER is full of them.
VAXman, did you mention you had admin privs over there? Interested in =

side, I think we should send out an invite.

PS: I think they run MULTINET so they wouldn't even need a bridge machine, just a UDP tunnel to someone else with MULTINET.
PPS: This is maybe 1/100th of the effort of merging with the Italian DECNET and probably would get us roughly the same amount of activity. It'd be silly not to at least suggest it :)
