Re: Call to Action: Team is looking for contribution from OpenVMS and Open source community....

Haha. After posting that email, I realized that they accidentally forwarded an entire conversation between two HP staffers discussing the email. PR fail.

It's quite interesting, but I'm also trying to figure out exactly where and when I told HP I was a VMS fan. I don't recall ever getting anything from HP in the past because of my hobbyist license registration. Wondering what others think about this - both from the 'HP reaching out' aspect as well as the aspect of promoting a port-it-to-VMS project. Ian

HECnet bridge on Solaris 2.9

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

Well, I managed to get the bridge compiled up on Solaris with some minor makefile and include and library tweaks having compiled up the latest libpcap. I am using the opencsw archive for general unix software. If I run the bridge with debug on I get the following output: ./bridge 4711 Config filename: bridge.conf Adding router ''local''. 0001187c:-4206648 Adding router ''update''. 82ee1319:4711 Adding DECnet bridge local. Trying to match local Matching against: local Found match: local == local Adding DECnet bridge update. Trying to match update Matching against: local Matching against: update Found match: update == update Adding LAT bridge local.

STAR69 runs on a Pi with Raspbian and bridge running out to HECnet so it's totally doable. If you could trim the distro down a bit (well, a lot actually) and make bridge run as a service it'd be neat. If you could get SimH to run as a service with a disconnectable terminal and optional between PDP-11 and VAX that'd be even neater. Maybe I went a little OTT on that one a SD card for bridge on a cut-down Pi linux would be a cool start though :) -- Mark Benson http://DECtec.info Twitter: @DECtecInfo HECnet: STAR69::MARK Online Resource & Mailing List for DEC Enthusiasts.

Looks like, from searching the changelog for libpcap, that there has been some recent activity involving tru64 (Thu. March 11, 2010.) This is definitely encouraging.

HECnet bridge on tru64

by hvlems＠zonnet.nl

I tried it more than a year ago on a v5.0 system and it's C compiler barfed on it. Since the bridge program runs very well indeed on a small laptop under fedora 14 I didn't pursue the tru64 track.

I haven't tried, and I haven't heard anyone else, but I do believe it should work... Might need to tweak a thing or two... Johnny

Wall plug compatible with MMJ?

DEC Legacy Reminder - next weekend in Windermere, UK

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

Hi folks, Just a quick note to remind you that DEC Legacy 2013 is next weekend in Sunny (well sometimes!) Windermere, UK. I've updated the website with some more details of the presentations. Registrations are up on last year and given the heritage of the attendees I think we are all set for a great weekend. More information on the website: http://wickensonline.co.uk/declegacy Regards, Mark. -- http://www.wickensonline.co.uk http://hecnet.eu http://declegacy.org.uk http://retrochallenge.net https://twitter.com/#!/%40urbancamo
