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.
Is the user mode router ready? I could deploy that..
[Rob Jarratt]
It has been used in a couple of configurations now and
seems to work
OK, I use it permanently now. You could try it and if it does not
work for you it is only seconds to switch back to the bridge.
Oh I was going to run the bridge as well, act as a sort of
connections
hub (Bridge, MULTINET on GORVAX and the user mode router).
What OS does the user mode router run on?
sampsa
It runs on Windows (as a Windows Service) and it runs on linux (as a
Daemon). I built the linux version on the Raspberry Pi using a flavour
of Debian. I think it has been built on FreeBSD too.
Regards
Rob
Would it run on NetBSD???
Not tried it so I don't know. I am not really very knowledgeable on all the
different Unix flavours, but the code does not do a lot that is special so
it should work. Try building it, if it doesn't compile or work let me know
and I will build a NetBSD virtual machine and get it working.
Regards
Rob

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?
Haven't had the time to poke at cisco scripting lately. Been too busy migrating to VMWare. I should have time later tonight. I'll let you know my progress.

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.
