My original plan was to make the domain available for all to receive email with either:
<username>@hecnet.org or
<username>@<DECnet-nodename>.hecnet.org (much easier to do BTW)
I'm running a PMDF mailserver on VMS which can gateway mail from the internet
to DECnet Mail-11. I could set it up to do this if there is interest.
The web address was (is) an after-thought.
I'm also running the OSU webserver but it looks like web hosting might be
addressed by others with more bandwidth. (I'm not great at providing content
either!).
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
I am also willing to point the web address anywhere else as long as it is a static IP address. If the destination site houses additional web sites, then I could even specify a port in addition to the address. I do not have time to create (or manage) an additional website, so someone else would have to take on that task.

I actually own hecnet.org. That could be used. In fact it is today to a
limited extent already...
I hope this doesn't start a "my domain is better than yours" argument, but
I'd guess that probably most people with DEC experience know what DECnet is.
OTOH, only we know what HECnet is ...

So, what machine have you setup to do this?
(As a parenthesis, didn't someone do this a few years ago...?)

Actually, a Wiki with some documentation would be a great idea.
But it s the same answer I m just offering the domain name;
somebody else has to set up the machine and service.
I'll host it if everyone is cool for the low-end hosting that I use
(i.e. Dreamhost)..
They also do automatically updated mediawiki + wordpress installs so
that'll work.
I am NOT throwing stones at this idea at all, but if anyone would find
this of value, I run my own self-contained network here...beefy Solaris
machines with big redundant fibrechannel disk arrays, backed up to big
tape juke, backup power, separate database servers, local nameservers,
etc, all on industrial-grade non-PC hardware, in a commercial building,
and I do quite a bit of commercial and noncommercial hosting on this
network.
I would be happy to make as much space and bandwidth available as
needed. I just don't have a lot of time these days (I moved from FL to
PA to find work, and I found a lot more than I bargained for) so I don't
want to work on the content, but if others can do that, I can make
whatever network resources available that would be needed, gratis of
course, for the group. I suggest this because I consider this to be
"friendly territory" network-wise, rather than at the whim of some
corporation somewhere.
If you guys don't want to go that route for whatever reason, that's ok
too. Just wanted to extend the offer, as it's one of the few things I
can do to help, and not everyone has these sorts of resources.
Thanks for the offer.
Update have silly amounts of bandwidth, and all else as well. So what, from my point of view, is missing, is content. Which I too am reluctant to try.
Of course, as people might have seen, we're going to have Update out for a couple of days, starting later today. Sorry about that. A short notice need to move machines around in the computer hall.

I think it makes sense to have both. :-)
Not that they necessarily should be identical.

Ppppttttthhhhh.... Don't need no stinkin' registrar....
Actually my registrar is pretty cool and I can edit the DNS directly for
the domains that I own. What do you want ? An A record? Or a CNAME might
be more appropriate in this case. What's the IP and/or redirect name?
You don't run your own namservers? Jeeze. ;)

Subject: [HECnet] decnet.org
I own the domain decnet.org I have for several years, but I haven t really done anything with it. Is there any interest in using it for HECnet somehow? We could, for example, give all the machines that have TCP/IP connectivity name.decnet.org aliases. Or we could set up mail forwarding for somebody at decnet.org. Or we could have a web page at www.decnet.org. Or maybe somebody can think of something else. I m also willing to transfer the name if somebody can promise to put it to good use. I don t want any money for it, but I would like to see it get used.
