If you mean SGC, and SG1 that is simple! The code name for VMS was STAR. With the exception of the STRGTE:: (Stargate) cluster (SGC, SG1, SG2,...SGn) all VMS nodes are named after stars. The PDP-11 nodes are usually named after planets (if they were available). SGC is Stargate Command (STRGTE:: cluster boot node) SG1 is Stargate 1, and is the primary "gateway" to the rest of HECnet for the Eastern US (application server). SG2 is Stargate 2, and is the primary "gateway" to another network (application server). SG3 is Stargate 3, and is the primary "gateway" to...

New HECNET.HLP file at RHESUS::[.HECNETHLP]HECNET.HLP

I suppose if I just copy pasted the results that'd be OK. This reminds me of the Internet in the early 90s, all the old-timers shouting about breaking netiquette etc. Well, being one of those old-timers in the early 90s myself, with idiots streaming onto the net and making a huge mess of things, I can understand the attitude. But this is about friggin' status messages ABOUT HECNET. WTF? Do these people use mail clients which lack a "delete" function or something? I love HECnet, and I love the crowd, but we do have a few tight-asses in there. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
