Yeah, the 4000/90 still hasn't gotten turned back on since getting
soaked. No idea if it still even works.
I have little doubt that it'll be fine. Don't abandon hope yet.
Now that sampsa isn't passing through me I doubt there's much traffic
that passes through here at all. I'm a possible path is all at this
point. :)
I'm still connected through you (and Peter) but I've not been very
active lately. Things have been busy at work, now we're going kinda
crazy preparing for this storm. It's looking a bit scary.

How are you dealing with the dynamic-DNS issues?

If you can't find one, I can make a RSTS image up for you. (I've never
done DECnet under RSX, so that'd take me awhile to figure out)
Which version of RSTS? I can give my disk image for my install of 10.1 if anyone wants to try and figure out what I did wrong or wants to make it in to a turnkey install it's pretty basic as i'm new to RSTS. (it has DECmail though)
I could use the RSX one grab me an image and maybe I can poke around until I break it to the point using DECnet works.
I feel so out of the loop with all this pre-my-actual-physical birth
chatter.
You fit in just fine with us old farts. I don't know what that says
about you. ;)

I ran tcpdump to see if packets were going anywhere, and they were.

Yes, and I can communicate with other VMs on the same physical machine without issue. I brought up a simulated alpha on the host and it can contact the simulated VAX fine, along with the rest of HECnet.
i'm connected to the rest of HECnet through multinet's decnet-over-IP tunnel to Fred's systems.
