- HECnet - lists @ Update

by bob＠jfcl.com

I know I've seen patches to simh on the net to get the bridge functionality inside simh. I did some more searching and found this one http://gunkies.org/wiki/Networking_with_SIMH#HECnet it appears that this (very short!) patch allows simh to talk directly to the bridge in Uppsala without needing a bridge on this end at all. It seems too good to be true, but I guess I'll give it a try. Bob

simh and the bridge program

On some machines, they do, and on some they don't. That said, I know I've seen patches to simh on the net to get the bridge functionality inside simh. Could that be an option?

It's possible to add it for FreeBSD/NetBSD too, but I don't have working system to test it. http://pdp-11.nsk.ru/~form/files/bridge/bridge-tap.patch

It's also worth noting that if http://hecnet.eu doesn't work http://hecnet.eu:8080 is always a direct connection to SLAVE. Regards, Mark.

This was atom but is now a HP MicroServer, but for some configuration reason the squid proxy isn't caching properly at the moment, so it will only forward on requests to the originator, SLAVE, which is the AlphaServer. It's a good reminder for me to take another look... Regards.

That's all on proviso that Chrissie's wants to move... Could Chrissie and you, Mark, work this over and give me an update? Will see where it goes. Presumably it would mean I have to provide area routing 24/7? That's not an issue provided the power stays on at my place. My area router needs manual intervention to restart.

Area 54

by HECNET＠beyondthepale.ie

I can say nothing for Italian network, but for Croatian I can assure you it's Slovenian, does not use area 54 and can be squeezed to any area with ten or twenty unoccupied addresses. Hi Rok, Apologies - I should have taken more careful note of your correction before I posted. I've even been to Ljubljana several years ago and I have some idea of issues in the region. All I can say by way of excuse is that email is an excellent tool for putting ones foot in ones mouth :-( Regards, Peter Coghlan.
