Saw your note on Hecnet about MVS and DecNet I've run MVS 3.8J on Hercules for years on Macs and PCs (usually on Linux) ISTR that DEC had an interface that sat on the IBM channel and looked like a 3274 control unit --- I also remember going to a demo at DEC late in their life and watching the product crash over and over :-) The place I worked ended up installing TCPIP on the 370s to talk to the Vaxen - I believe it was a port of the Stanford or UCLA code (don't remember which). Anyone who needed terminal access to the mainframe went thru the Vax that was the gateway. Sterling Garwood slgarwood at charter.net

Managed to get an emulated S/390 with MVS up - any way we can get this beast onto HECnet?

Yeah, I think it's VTAM. Not sure what / how to connect it beyond the local box though, might need some IBM network voodoo box or something.

I don't know about DECnet, but the reverse is possible - DEC had an SNA gateway product. Good luck :-) Bob

Hi Sampsa, Are you running Turnkey? I have VM/370 (well, 380 actually) and MVS/380 running here. I play with it occasionally. I also run MUSIC/SP on a Windows XP VM I have (cause it's the only way I can get TCP/IP working with MUSIC since it's not supported from what I can tell on Hercules). I'd like to get them interfaced to mail (I remember using PROFS (which I know is licensed) at a former job) or actually do *something* remotely useful with it ... :) Let me know if you make any headway.

I don't think the freeware MVS comes with SNA, as that's a commercial product. Could set up some captive accounts to run TN3270 on GORVAX I suppose.

HECNET accessible bulletin board

by sampsa＠mac.com

Guys, I've been reimplementing an old 80s BBS package called Waffle in Python (called Pyffle). Anyway, it's accessible over HECNET as the host name PYFFLE, log in as pyffle at the Unix prompt. Sampsa

VAXcluster MOP boot losing link?

Webserver for Ultrix

by Alastair.Boyanich＠au.fujitsu.com

*chuckle* I had an IBM 850 that was afair a 120 or 133mhz 604 or 603e with 32mb ram that a mate grabbed a few years back so he could try it. Think he still keeps it with his extensive collection of Motorola power-stacks.

Naturally the day after I showed it off to management, IBM dropped support for PowerPC NT... Then so did Microsoft. Qemu can run the MIPS version of NT which is fun to run from time to time... but just how much do you like NT 4.0 sp1???
