Hey Johnny, for the past few days if I try to access
http://madame.update.uu.se/nodedb, I get the banner and the search
box, but below that it only says "585 matches. Execute or extend
access denied to USERS".
It used to give the full list. Trying to search gives the same error,
and no displayed results.
Something broken?

"Small" in this case is more than 10 times the size of NEMA... :-)
But if someone wants to try, I can answer questions.

I'm thinking the point isn't: if only there were a nice editor, any
editor, that fits on RSX (those of us who grew up on EDT generally *love*
it already, and TECO is its own religion), but rather to accommodate
people's muscle memory and accept the commands they were already going to
type whether they meant to or not (which is why E11's built-in editor goes
in the other direction and uses the EDT/KED keypad layout).

Is anyone maintaining an up-to-date DECdns server based off of Johnny's nodedb?
I've recently set up an emulated VAX (simh) at 61.152 called ENKIDU,
running OpenVMS 7.3. I was hoping to use DECdns for simple node name
resolution. In the interim I'm using Jordi's DECdns server (which he
mentioned a while ago), but it doesn't appear to be as up to date with
the official nodedb as I'd like. :)
Thanks,
Mark
Can somebody update the cisco tunnel configs and send me the tunnel configs? My current IP is 50.131.150.11 - I will get a cisco VM up when I get home
(no PSUs for the working routers I have...)

I agree. The days of dozens of choices of real terminals are long over,
so the amount of extra work you'd do just for that one time that someone
dusts off a Teleray 1061 just to open one file and then turn it off forever,
is really not worth it. Expecting someone doing real work to find an ANSI
terminal is totally fair.

Yes, I know about it.
I actually did sortof an Emacs clone in TECO-8 many years ago. It's
actually pretty easy to do a decent implementation in TECO. The problem
is that you cannot really edit large files. TECO-8 and TECO-11 can edit
arbitrarily large files, but only as a stream. You read in a page of the
file (where a "page" is a bit loosely defined), you edit it, and then
you pass it on to the output, and read in the next page. At that point,
you cannot go back to a previous page anymore. And all editing is
happening within the buffer that you have in memory. So all addressing
is done local to the page you have in memory.
So, while cool, and somewhat fun, it have some rather severe limitations
if you want to edit large files. And this is a TECO-11 limitation, and
cannot really be solved in a good way by any code written inside
TECO-11. What I did for my implementation for TECO-8 was that I keep a
count of which page I was on, and if I wanted to go backwards, I had to
close the file, reopen it, and read from the beginning until I was at
the previous page, and then work from there.

I have a tape with a VMS backup saveset. It has a directory tree on the tape
[foo]
[foo.bar]
[foo.bar.barf]
How do I (backup command line) restore the tape as a subdirectry and have
backup to create the needed directories under my new "root" like [tapes]?
Say that I want to put it under
[tapes.foo]
[tapes.foo.bar]
etc

I have now confirmed that the Cat2960G series is the fellow who use F/O bundles as its preferred means managing a link to it. Does anyone have an idea as to the style of connecting F/O styles?

Hey Peter,
Do you have the serial pinouts for your SC-40 handy?
Mine has had miswired FE terminal ports from day one and I'd like to
finally fix that. ;)
However, mine came with zero manuals or documentation!

Hi,
I'm doing some reconfiguration of routers and firewalls here, so
my hecnet tunnels may bounce a few times over the next several days.

Regarding the spam msg itself, according to previous history with this,
there is no hijacking of accounts involved, just someone faking the
sender address. Checking the headers of this msg show it to be sent
from somewhere in Ukraine...

Given:

its apparent that they got "lucky" with the hecnet list this time.
As I said, this has been around for some time, for example on the nanog

This type of spam has been seen on other mailing lists for some time.
First time here, though.
Every msg with "Fw: new message" as subject that I get is spam, with a
fake sender.

NOTA BENE: Feel free to ignore this message but I think some of you guys might find this rather amusing..Also, it?s Friday before Valborgsafton so, Johnny, I?m sure you?ll be cool about this (I guarantee very infrequent) totally off-topic post.
Right Johnny? Hyv?? Vappua and all that? (it?s like Christmas for alcoholics in Finland. Hell, it?s like our third most popular holiday)
Anyway,
Some background: Yesterday there was something of a revolution in the alt.2600 Facebook group (?The Hacker Quarterly?, I am a member purely out of professional interest) which led to the owner of the actual machine basically kicking out all the admins since facts emerged that the founder of the FB group, Adrian Lamo (same guy that basically handed Bradley/Chelsea Manning over to the Feds over the Wikileaks thing since he had some Very Serious Business federal charges hanging over him) had been data mining the alt.2600 IRC server for the NSA.
This did not go down too well, since he wasn?t actually coerced into this - it?s what he does for a living now, apparently (OSINT - open-source intelligence gathering).
So anyway, new admins were installed, including a buddy of mine [I?m fairly certain she?s not a Fed, if she is, she hides her money well] and as the group reopened a hilarious typhoon of bovine excrement started flying around including some 17 year old clearly on his 8th can of Monster Energy posting a hilariously poor attempt at high register English rhetoric about Adrian Lamo?s ?High Crimes against the Hacking Community?.
Of course, the guys being the sociopathic pranksters they are, immediately started question said script kiddy?s coding abilities.
At which point I (and APL, the programming language) entered the conversation, which you can see here:

FWIW,
d|i|g|i|t|a|l sold a device, part number 29-32549-01, which did exactly what
is being asked. Information is available in the OpenVMS FAQ, Ch.14, Sect.18

I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
I?ve got two VAXstation 4000s, and I think they both have a graphics card in them - one with a weird connector with 3 circular sockets and another with a DB25-looking thing and they seem to have a picture of a monitor on them.
So a couple of questions?
Anyone know where I can get an adapter cable for one or the other of those to a VGA monitor? (basically, does anyone have a spare that they?d like to sell)?
Are they likely to work with an LCD monitor or do I need to get an older CRT one?
Finally, can I use the LK keyboard from a VT420 as the ?console keyboard?? How about mice, are these still available (or does someone want to sell me one)?
Thanks for any advice..

Hey guys,
After a prolonged absence during a particularly crap job in Qatar I?m finally able to do fun DECNET stuff again.
Anything of interest happening lately? Is there a new mail gateway? If not, I?ve got Multinet running on one of my nodes but have no idea of how to set it up to be a mail gateway - so if someone is interested in helping me out, I?m happy to use LABVAX for that..
Sampsa
VCF East is April 15-17. That's just 2 months away! Who's going? Do we have a plan? Last year DEC was well represented. This year could be even better! I am starting to put some things together. Hopefully we can connect to the HECnet backbone. My site will provide both Multinet and bridge links into HECnet as necessary.

While looking for DECnet documents, I noticed that there's a very large collection at http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/antonio/dec/ . Probably not news to many, but in case some had not seen it...
Among other things, there are two CD collections MDS-1997-10 and MDS-2000-01. The former contains a rather obscure document, the DECnet Phase IV Token Ring datalink spec. That also includes the Phase IV routing layer tweaks necessary to support token ring -- or other datalinks if you don't want to use the AA-00-04-00 prefix.
