It's not like they're tough to find, or very expensive. And you'll use it essentially forever. (because it will last that long!) But emulation is free and here today, instead of waiting two weeks for an Ebay order to arrive :) Maybe I should try playing with it to see if it's even possible. If we could create a nice simple turnkey VM image, maybe more Hecnet members would implement it... (I agree the hardware is the best way to go - it's bullet-proof and lives forever) Okay, after a bit of wrangling, I have the following setup: Mac OSX Snow Leopard (host machine), running Ubuntu 10.10 guest machine under Virtualbox. Inside the Ubuntu machine, I am running GNS3. Inside GNS3, I am emulating a Cisco 7206VXR router. Inside the router, I created a bridge back to my real 7206VXR at home. I created an area router with a dummy address of 42.1022. It works! I'm getting full Hecnet routing tables. So, I've proven that we can have a poor-man's Cisco routing solution for Hecnet with nothing more than a VM image. If anyone is interested, I used the VM image called GNS3 Workbench from http://rednectar.net/gns3-workbench/ as my source. I added an appropriate Cisco 7200 binary. Ian.

HECnet performance....

by roll＠Stupi.SE

It's 12008. I can find you a AC PS. I'm not seriously considering running it just for my vaxen :) Humm, negative waves.. But seriously there is no IOS that speaks DECnet on the GSR. (In theory E0 cards can do it, but OC3 pos and OC12 POS are the only interfaces..) I do have one AGS+, I wonder if it has decnet.. It has DECnet. But maybe only switched by the RP (csc) say 1.5Mbit/s. I'm in Espoo, Finland. We did meet once in the Funet/Nordunet conference at the Technical University in Otaniemi, Espoo. That's to many years ago for me to remember -:) -P

What GSR model? (There are AC supplies that fit in the same space as the DC..) (where are you located) -P

Now that I have the 1841, 1811w and 2851 I seriously doubt I'll ever touch the 4700 again. Come get it. :) Where would I need to go? ;) Easton, PA. If you aren't familiar with the area, about half way betten NYC and Philly. Dave's gonna be heading my way soon, perhaps he could pick it up and bring it here to me? It'd be easier than me going there. Uh...that's like three hours' drive in the opposite direction, one way. Ah. Disregard that then.

And sorry for commanding some changes on other peoples domains, I just wanted some baseline functionality and a second order redundancy that would kick in by itself if things starts to break..
