Connecting to HECnet from DEC Legacy 19-20 Oct

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I am hoping to connect to HECnet from the DEC Legacy event in October, hopefully connecting a few interesting systems to HECnet and allowing attendees to explore HECnet. I would be using a USB 3G device to do this, so I wouldn t know my IP until the day itself. Is there anyone with a bridge on HECnet who would be available during UK daytime on those days to configure their bridge to peer with me? There may be more than one change of IP address over the course of the weekend though. Are there any other options? Thanks Rob

Are you looking for a Falcon that can do the Kessel run in less than three parsecs? I can't take it, my raid is resyncing itself for the third time the last 24 hours and the kid is sick :/ ...

Hello! Actually yes. Kessel is indeed fictional. That's the spice mine planet described in the Star Wars series of films and novels and the odd television programming show. Dunning is a shipping term, it frequently describes the gear used to move stuff aboard freight vessels. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

But, like I said, the cell size is different on different models, so you cannot just have one character definition file and have that look ok on all terminals. Johnny

It takes a mini-DIN connector keyboard. As for "normal PC keyboard" -- I hadn't thought of that. I'll give that a try, assuming I still have such keyboards. Yes. The mini-DIN is the PS/2 connector. If you attach a PC keyboard the terminal recognize that, and use a slightly different layout in order for you to get all functionality anyway. Look in the manuals, and you'll see how the keyboard is laid out. Johnny
