Is it feasible/advisable/possible to have 2 Area Routers on a DECnet Phase IV network?
The only reason I ask is that I'd like my emulated cluster system to be able to run Area 6 independently as all the nodes are area 6 nodes and it'd be neat to have area 6 working at places events like DEC Legacy.
Would it cause issues on HECNet having 2 Area 6 routers in different places also? I'm guessing not as they are still on the same DECnet network, same as if they are in the same room on the same LAN, but what do I know ;)

FYI - I m updating Multinet and making a few other changes on LEGATO this morning. It shouldn t require any changes on anybody else s end, but you will see the machine being rebooted several times this morning.

By the way, I assume this means all previous definitions in area 51 are invalid, and were deleted. Let me know if I was wrong. The old ones you had conflicted with this list.

That would be me.

Noted.
I was looking through the archives, I thought I saw that someone had
layered products for ia64 on their machine. Can anyone remind me who
it was ?
I know someone did have something up, but the memory fails me too at the moment.

Nice!
You've got further than I did on my 11 due to lack of tapes. Out of
interest, is there something similar to the VMS hobbyist distro where
you can pay or even better freely download all the compilers, layered
products, $other crimes ?
Nope. :-(
It's still owned, restricted and a silly situation. Just like the last 10 years...

Subject: [HECnet] RSX11M 4.6 complete installation logs
I've completed 3 posts about the installation/generation of a RSX11M
4.6 (no
plus) system from scratch under the simh simulator. If someone is
interested,
the links are:

(There is no addsense in that blog, even though I must confess I tried
to enable
it and was rebuked by google because of "lack of content" ;), so this
obvious
spamming has no monetary interests behind ;)).
I'd like to complete my setup with decnet and some layered products.
I've got
BP2 2.5, F4 2.8 and F77 5.4. I'd like to get:
- COBOL (74 and 81)
- FMS-11
- DECNET (I've got a kit for 11M+, but no for 11M)
- DBMS-11 (CODASYL databases rule! :))
- Of course, a more up-to-date version of BP2 (I've got one for
microRSX that
does not run under 11M).
I'd appreciate anyone pointing me to where I could find those jewels
:)

If anyone knows the Pantone number for DEC blue, that would be great.
All I ever saw were references to a DEC standard for corporate colors, but I never saw the standard itself. Perhaps that mentioned Pantone numbers. If not, I wonder what it used instead...

I think there were just the O/S DVD image and no separate LP image.
But why not ask John.

Joe,
As you may have heard, we plan to make kits available via download from
an FTP site.
There is no cost, since there is no media and/or postage and handling.
I have available the most recent version of OpenVMS for VAX (V7.3),
Alpha (V8.4) and */Integrity (V8.4) /*along with development tools such
as compilers and the DECset products. I do not have older versions.
If you have NOT already requested a kit pointer and would like to
download any of the above, for personal/Hobbyist usage only, please let
me know what you are interested in (VAX, Alpha, or /*I64*/).
Regards,
/John

Unfortunately there is not a kit available for Itanium. I thought I
had the layered products but the only things I could find where for
HP-UX.
