Possible outage

by pontus＠Update.UU.SE

Hi Since some of you use Johnnys bridge or connect to MIM or Magica I though you wanted to know that Uppsala University is getting a network upgrade and will flip the switch(es) on tonight at 19:00 and on the 31:st. I'm told we shouldn't notice it due to redundant lines, but you never know :) If all goes well you should, at least part of the way, be able to telnet to our old machines at a whopping 100GB/s Cheers, Pontus.

Mailing list "archive"

by sampsa＠mac.com

Guys, Just in case anyone is interested, I?ve made a dump of all the HECnet mailing list message I have (about 15,000 of them, going back to 2008) in mbox format (basically a big flat ASCII file). I plan on updating this every month or so. Link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10129729/hecnet/hecnet-list-dump-2016-0… (22 MBs compressed, 173 MB uncompressed) Sampsa

HILANT IRC Gateway

by sampsa＠mac.com

Guys, Just for the hell of it I?ve set up an IRC channel on irc.rizon.net (because they have a fairly nice Web chat interface on top of being quite stable) called #hecnet_chat. I?ve also set up an account on LABVAX that will connect you to it using the username CHAT. Let me know if you have any problems (and yes, I?m aware that the IRC program crashes on exit, I have no idea why, but aside from that it seems to work OK). Sampsa

OpenVMS manuals (Grey wall + HP) available, Windermere UK

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

Greetings I have a set of OpenVMS 7.3 era manuals available (grey wall). They are located in Windermere, UK. At the moment I am unable to ship them due to lack of packing materials so it would be either via collection or by an arrangement. The manuals are generally in good condition. I can get a list together if anyone is interested. I also have a large numbr of HP/Compaq softbound manuals which came as a set also available. Please email me direct if interested. I am the organiser of declegacy.org.uk so if you want to come along on October 15th-16th and collect them you've got a reason to visit Windermere. Please feel free to pass this message on to anyone you think might be interested. Regards, Mark.

Announcing TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS

by bqt＠softjar.se

Time for a new release announcement of TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS. This is a release that mainly address a couple of potential bugs that have been identified and fixed in the TCP layer. I strongly encourage people to upgrade to the latest version to get these fixes, since they can otherwise cause system crashes. Things that have been done since the last release: TCP: - Several bugfixes which could cause kernel memory corruption under some circumstances. Mostly a problem with slow machines and high volumes of network traffic. DHCP: - Changed DHCP to not print anything in case a plain renewal of the current IP address is done. HTTP: - Bugfix in the HTTP daemon, which could report incorrect times for last modify for files under some circumstances. TELNETD: - Changed code to to explicit push after I/O requests are complete, which improves performance. As usual, the distribution is available from: ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.dsk ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.tap ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/pdp11/rsx/tcpip/tcpip.dsk The documentation is also available through ftp on Mim, or also at http://mim.update.uu.se/tcpipdoc As Mim is behind a firewall, which at the moment is blocking incoming ftp and telnet (we are working on getting that removed again), an alternative is to connect to Mim as Mim.Update.UU.SE:10021 (for ftp) and Mim.Update.UU.SE:10023 (for telnet). (Guess why the ability to listen to multiple ports for telnet, as well as being able to give a port argument to ftp came about... ;-) ) Johnny -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B.

Announcing TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS

by bqt＠softjar.se

Time for a new release announcement of TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS. There have been some improvements in reliability and stability done in the last few months. Part of this is because MAGICA (the real PDP-11/70 that I use) have finally started coming alive again, and running on that machine exposed some issues related to running out of primary pool (nothing like running on slower, real hardware). I seriously recommend that people upgrade, as some of these fixes are fixing issues that could crash your system. Things that have been done since the last release: ARP: - Bugfix in ARP processing. If system was running out of primary pool, kernel structures could become corrupted. IP: - Bugfix in fragment reassembly. It could cause a system crash under some circumstances. TCP: - Bugfix in daemon activation. If system was running out of primary pool, data corruption in the kernel could happen under some circumstances. DHCP: - Improved option processing, added NTP server option handling, added hostname option to requests. Generally improved stability of code. Multinet: - Improved stability and reliability of code. FTP/FTPD: - Improved file handling. In RSX mode, if the file to transfer was readonly, the transfer would fail, as the file protection was applied to the file before it had been completed. - Added the ability to provide a port to connect to for FTP client. TELNET: - Turned off terminal wrap when running telnet. TELNETD: - Added the ability to listen on several ports. - Fixed issues related to running on mP systems. HTTPD: - Changed timeout handling for sessions. As usual, the distribution is available from: ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.dsk ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.tap ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/pdp11/rsx/tcpip/tcpip.dsk The documentation is also available through ftp on Mim, or also at http://mim.update.uu.se/tcpipdoc As Mim is behind a firewall, which at the moment is blocking incoming ftp and telnet (we are working on getting that removed again), an alternative is to connect to Mim as Mim.Update.UU.SE:10021 (for ftp) and Mim.Update.UU.SE:10023 (for telnet).
