PDXVAX - 40MB Memory - VAXstation 4000/VLC?

by bob＠jfcl.com

Obviously no one sent me any either. ;-) http://www.avanthar.com:8080/nodes/ I was meaning to talk to you about that - the listing for CODA is incorrect, too. I don't know where this list gets its information. Clearly, keeping all these separate lists updated manually is getting to be impossible. If Sampsa's INFO.TXT file contained more information AND had a standardized format that was not too hard to parse, then we could use that as the basis for automatically generating all these lists. "If..." :-) Bob

Ah, and it might be fun to point out that MIM:: is actually an emulated PDP-11/74. Yes, that is the multi-CPU PDP-11 that DEC never sold. I'm usually running MIM:: with only two CPUs online. There is still some debugging to be done of E11 to make it work a little more stable. Johnny Johnny Billquist wrote: Oh, you want updates? :-) Let's see...

Might be good to point at that you can atleast see who supposedly "owns" each machine be looking at MIM::US:[DECNET]NODENAMES.ALL I try to keep that list updated at all times, and suspect it have machines that others might not always know about yet...

Re: HECnet

by bqt＠softjar.se

Looks like you are bouncing between two routers, one of which is faulty at the moment (PONDUS). Why you would get to PONDUS, I don't know. I know it is faulty because adjacency is down. The problem with PONDUS is that it can stop receiving ethernet packets, but is still sending. There is a bug somewhere inside the DECnet driver, which I'd like to find, if I just had the sources... I'll have someone kick on PONDUS on sunday, when someone is physically close to the machine again. An endnode normally should pick the router with the highest priority, which can be heard. MIM is at 96, and should be picked, unless something else is funny. PONDUS should only be at 64, even if it is working. Johnny Oleg Safiullin wrote: Hi. Is something wrong with subj?
