A couple of other options are:
1. Never switch off your router so that it keeps its IP address. In my case
(Virgin Media in the UK), my IP address does not change for months at a
time, and just ask Johnny (or whoever you peer to), to restart the bridge
with a new IP.
2. Persuade someone who has a fixed IP to run the user mode router, if you
register your IP with something like DynDns then the user mode router
periodically checks for a change of IP.
3. Use the upcoming SIMH emulation of the DMC11, which allows you to connect
using TCP to someone else who has a fixed IP. Again you would need to
persuade someone who has a static IP to peer with you. But the SIMH
emulation does actually do a fresh DNS lookup if the connection goes down,
so a change of IP would work in any case.
Cory, any progress on the Cisco dynamic IP thing?

Damn it - we could've interfaced it via UUCP to UUHECNET...
The V4.x MX pachage is still out on the internet with these pieces. It
might be possible to use the older package or use these components from
it.

Well sort of...there is a UUHecnet and I'm sure if someone get's bored
one weekend there will be a heX.25 network spring up in no time...:-)
Funny you should mention that, we've been talking with some guys about implementing a X.25 network, largely over XOT. Just for amusement value I might put an old nokia cell phone to answer calls to a virtual PAD :)
We were thinking of calling it HECPAC...

Does it support re-writing the Reply-To: or From: headers?
Not arbitrarily, but it has a special case for SMTP to DECnet.
Sorry, but if you want to know more please email me off list (without
HECnet in the subject). The HECnet list mail gets sent to my junk mail
folder, and I only scan it once a day, if that.

There's SMTP handling in Multinet but no real mail handling capabilities
like are within MX. When I worked for the DoD, I put Multinet on nearly
all the VMS boxes and then used MX for what it does best, so I know it's
lacking in certain abilities. However, I haven't run Multinet in several
years as Process ceased sending me quid pro quo licenses and updates so,
perhaps, in recent versions there's a more capable email handler.

So MX can do the subdomain -> decnet node name conversion?
You guys know that there's already an SMTP <-> HECnet/MAIL11
gateway, right? There has been for years..
Nope...I had no idea.

Yeah, re-inventing the wheel sucks. I'd be interested in knowing what
you are using to back it.

You guys know that there s already an SMTP <-> HECnet/MAIL11 gateway, right? There has been for years .
(If there was an archive for this group, we wouldn t keep re-inventing the same thing!).
Here s my description of it from a couple of years back .
Bob
-------
I ve set up an Internet SMTP to HECnet MAIL11 gateway. To send mail from the Internet to a HECnet node, address it to
user at node.decnet.org
where user is the VMS (or RSX or RSTS or whatever) user name and node is the HECnet node name. If you re logged into a HECnet machine you can send Internet mail by addressing it to
LEGATO::SMTP%user at whereever.com
Note that LEGATO will store mail sent in either direction for up two days if the target node is down at the time that means your HECnet machine doesn t have to be online 24x7 in order to receive mail.
IMPORTANT - There is absolutely no SPAM filtering, so please be very careful about where or how you publish these addresses unless you want your VMS mailbox filled up with thousands of SPAMs
Bob
