Hello! I'm not command line challenged. But I also use PuTTY on both Windows (here) and Linux. I've also built it for my Slackware Linux system. This discussion is becoming decidedly strange. The big problem here is simply making things easier to work with. However what further progress has been accomplished in sorting out how to deliver serial over Ethernet directly? ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Off the top of my head, I can name at least two dozen easy-to-install free terminal emulators for Windows. There are probably a great many more than that. Is PuTTY not available for WEENDOZE??? On Mac OS X and Linux, it does a failrly reasonable job of digesting the VT200 series escape sequences and even does DECSWL and DECDHL correctly. If you want to test your emulator, telnet to great-escape.tmesis.com and log in with VTTEST -- no password. It's a captive account that runs the VTTEST suite.

I'm about actually ready to put some systems up and I'd like to request a HECnet area to use. Anything that is free is fine, I don't have any special number desires. I'm still working out how I will connect. I'm playing with the virtual Cisco that Ian posted recently. Otherwise I may take a shot at the bridge and see if I can get it running on my Vyatta firewall/router. Where is the latest version of the bridge code? Regards, John H.

Sample DCL code for simple client-server task-to-task comms

by sampsa＠mac.com

Yeah, it was running under Linux, I basically took the Linux sources of the PHONE client and stripped it down to the DIR call, then just ran that over the whole nodelist every 5-10 mins. Anyway, this latest thing I've built is literally a few .COM files that talk to a server on RHESUS. sampsa On 21 Jan 2013, at 08:44, Mark Wickens <mark at wickensonline.co.uk> wrote: On 18/01/2013 16:06, Johnny Billquist wrote: On 2013-01-18 07:41, sampsa at mac.com wrote: Half a year or maybe a year ago.

Yeah, I didn't mean crashed MIM or anything, but caused problems - basically the phone directory just went through the nodelist and did a PHONE DIR to them..If a node was down, the call would fail. It wasn't a good idea from BQT's side :) I don't remember all the details now, but I think it was something with the DECnet stack you used which made this worse. I seem to remember trying the same thing myself in various ways I couldn't trigger the logging. Did you run it under Linux, or what was it?

HECnet Area Request

A simplistic diagram is here http://s295.beta.photobucket.com/user/reinhardtjh/media/DataCenter/Network_… It depends on where in your network you want to put your VAXen. In your diagram, are your VAXen plugged in to the "Local LAN network" ? If so, put your virtual router in this network, and give it a fixed IP address for that subnet. Your virtual router will act as a "router on a stick" - meaning it's got one physical interface. Tunnel traffic will come in via port forwarding from your Vyatta. The virtual router will un-encapsulate the traffic, and route the DECnet traffic back out the same physical interface, where your VAX machines will see it. Your Vyatta will need to be configured to route GRE traffic (which is the packet type for the tunnel) to your virtual router. Ian
