Beta User Mode DECnet Router Available For Testing

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

The source code has been updated on CodePlex to fix both issues. It now generates level 1 routing messages, so will work correctly if you have level 1 routers in your area. It also handles unreachable nodes in its own area correctly now.

If you have any Level 1 routers in your area then it isn't going to work properly because it doesn't send out Level 1 Routing messages (but it does process the ones it receives). I have also had a report that when nodes in my area are not reachable, you get a timeout instead of an "unreachable" error.

Can be extended to support other kinds of circuit (Cisco and Multinet might be examples, not tried). 7. Does dynamic DNS updates without blocking. Limitations ----------- 1. Only tested on Windows Server 2003 and Raspberry Pi running Debian. 2. Does not support Phase III nodes. 3. Although it can be configured as a Level 1 node, Level 1 is not fully supported. It has only been tested as a Level 2 (area router) node. 4. Limited testing on Raspberry Pi. 5. Performance not tested. 6. Not tested with multiple ethernets. 7. Limited testing with multiple bridges. Regards Rob

Could someone help me with a 1-minute test please?

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I just need someone to try to SET HOST to a non-existent node in my area (area 5), eg 5.500. You should get an unreachable error, but you may timeout instead, that is the problem I am trying to diagnose. If someone does try it please let me know what happens at your end. Thanks Rob

DECserver 200/MC - Worth a Punt?

Got one here as a console server, works great. Same model too. Recommended.

DECserver 200/MC - Worth a Punt?

I've been looking for a DECServer that works on 10-baseT for a while. The seller is probably unable to test it without a MOP server. I haven't checked the price on DECserver 200's lately, but newer ones (DECserver 90, DECserver 700) are very expensive even on Ebay. 100s and 200s are practically giveaways, but that's practically a giveaway price. They're great little machines. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Must be UK English Johnny :-) Punter translates to gambler so a punt for me at least translated as "attempt". ------Origineel bericht------ Van: Johnny Billquist Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: Re: [HECnet] DECserver 200/MC - Worth a Punt?
