No, that wasn t it, it was behaving appropriately after all.
For some odd reason I get the 132 IP resolved every once in a while and then it switches back. I just don t get it.
I m making you static.

I know CME and can give you a hand. I'll follow up with you directly.
Last I checked the newest CME you can run on a 28xx is cme-8.6 with
IOS 15.1(4)M, which is what myself and a handful of friends are using.
I found it convenient to make separate folders for each phone model
and so forth, so the router filesystem is less of a mess. I then found Cisco
was doing exactly that with their recent UC500 distros, so the UC520-8.6.2
files are both what you need, are sanely organized so your flash doesn't
end up being a horrible mess.
I'm liking CME for managing all the phones, but with an Asterisk server
for more elaborate call processing rules, voicemail, and functionality
which might be harder in CME.
A friend of mine is using it as a bridge to a metaswitch.
CME does SIP to the Meta, SCCP to phones.

Hi Rob
Maybe you can add some info on your router at some point in the presentation?
BTW I meant to ask does it work under Windows?
I don't know about the python version - can you give me any more details please?
I've update the Alpha/MIPS section
Thanks, Mark.

Hello Mark,
The programme is looking really amazing, I am so impressed with the work you put into this part. In your talk on HECnet, it would be nice if you mentioned my user mode router, and you may also like to mention Paul Koning s Python version!
Just a small correction to the exhibits. The DECstation and DECsystem I am thinking of bringing are MIPS, not Alpha.

... and there will be more yet to come.
We also now have quite an impressive list of exhibits which I expect to continue to grow throughout the next month. Whatever your favourite era of DEC kit you are sure to find something of interest.
The registration page allows registration for a single day or the whole weekend.
Please come, join in and experience the best computing equipment from the best manufacturer!
Kind regards,

Hi Rob
Maybe you can add some info on your router at some point in the presentation?
BTW I meant to ask does it work under Windows?
I don't know about the python version - can you give me any more details please?
That s mine. It s not finished, but it s doing basic router work at this point. I intend to add the layers above, so, for example, it will eventually support NICE. That means doing NSP, and that is so far just a few bits and pieces.
It s written in Python 3, as a fairly straightforward implementation of what the architecture specs say. Phase II, III, and IV.
That probably wasn t clear. I meant two things: (a) it should talk to II, III, and IV nodes, and (b) it can be a II, III, or IV node. As a IV node, it is slightly odd in that it will accept phase II neighbors, which typical DECnet implementations will do if they are Phase III but not phase IV. But that s really just because the spec doesn t describe how; it s fairly obvious how to make it work.

It s written in Python 3, as a fairly straightforward implementation of what the architecture specs say. Phase II, III, and IV. IV has seen some testing against other implementations, II and III just against test scripts. LAN and point to point data links (GRE, Multinet, Ethernet via pcap or tap). DDCMP is planned but not there yet. Ditto a Johnny Bilquist style bridge. Some MOP (sysid including a listener, that s actually what prompted this whole effort). There is a fairly extensive test suite, which I found to be quite helpful in making this stuff closer to correct, and some basic documentation. Some monitoring via HTTP; that s intended to grow over time and hopefully become both monitoring and control.
In general it should run on anything that supports Python 3. The pcap code is somewhat OS dependent because some of its interfaces are; I ve tested it on Linux and Mac OS. The tap code also is OS dependent for similar reasons; that one so far has only been tested on Mac OS (and not recently; I switched to using the pcap interface once I dumped the pylibpcap module and replaced it by my own pure-Python module). If I remember correctly, there s a pcap on Windows, so that is a possible way to get the Ethernet code working on Windows. If you do, I d appreciate seeing any necessary changes; I don t normally do anything with Windows so none of this code has been tested there, though chances are the work needed is not all that large.
You can find the current code on my Subversion server, svn://akdesign.dyndns.org/pydecnet/trunk/pydecnet . Questions, comments, and suggestions welcome.

What about NetBSD?

Happy to add information, I ll reply separately, but yes it does run under Windows, Linux/Debian and FreeBSD. Paul Koning is, I think, on this list, so he can tell you about his Python router.

I've update the Alpha/MIPS section
Thanks, Mark.

Hello Mark,
The programme is looking really amazing, I am so impressed with the work you put into this part. In your talk on HECnet, it would be nice if you mentioned my user mode router, and you may also like to mention Paul Koning s Python version!
Just a small correction to the exhibits. The DECstation and DECsystem I am thinking of bringing are MIPS, not Alpha.
Regards
Rob
