Hmm, it may actually be ok then. I've not worked with any of the 49xx
series. Supporting those dynamic routing protocols certainly suggests
that it knows how to route! ;)
Hey Brian, have you ever worked with those hybrid router/switch boxen?

Um...that's a switch, not a router. I'm almost positive this model
runs IOS, but as far as I'm aware it has no routing capabilities.
But either way, free is good. :-)

boy that gives me bad memories of long days ... perhaps you should've gone for NT 3.50 while you were at it... I do have a Win 3.11 box running... perhaps there's a decnet stack for it?!!?

Johnny,
Sounds fun. Do you have any other systems down here in .au ? If not and
you have some spare time this weekend, I'd love a bit of a hand getting
initially one of my systems online. We have a 3 day weekend/long weekend
so I'll have more time. I'll try building the newer version of the
bridge.c on the SGI, but the old one appears to function. Ports are all
still setup as per instructions.
Al.

Just some fun details...
As of today, there are 321 nodes in the nodename database.
They are spread out over 16 areas.
We have machines located on (at least) three continents, if I remember
right.
While not online all the time, I think we currently have atleast the
following OSes represented:
RSX
RSTS/E
VMS
Ultrix
Linux
OSF/1
TOPS-10
Tops-20
Windows XP
IOS
If you know of any errors in this information, more fun facts, or
anything else you'd like to share, feel free to do so.

Besides, anyone who thinks I know how to use VMS is a moron, Im a
total
VMS noob. I know properly 10x about Linux what I do about VMS. That
said
there are plenty areas I've never had to deal with and mounting
without root
privileges is seemingly one of them. Thing is it 'just works' in RSX
and VMS it
'just don't work' in Linux, at least at a prompt using the
conventional tools.
[..snip!..]
Mark: If your that much of a noob.. I have a "Tips" file/page that's a
little less daunting than the VMS-FAQ I used to hand out to people at my
uni computer club when they joined the VMS sig or had no idea. I still
update it from time to time.

Maybe a few nuggets in there.

3.8-1 works just fine (it's what i'm running now) and 3.9 runs fine in

Did it have something to do with the networking perhaps, maybe a weird
interaction with the Crossbow subsystem? We already know that part of
that doesn't do things exactly the way we need them to, I wonder if
there are other issues.
No, this is on zaphod which runs horribly old SXCE.

You mean the gcc PDP-11 backend? Are you mad? :-)
Johnny
Maybe so, but working on its has been a good learning experience. It actually helped me doing "real work" on gcc.
God. I have never fully understood the internals of gcc. I remember identifying some bugs in it several years ago when it targeted VAX. But I did that by writing code, running it through the compiler and reading the output to identify the problem. Then someone else had to go in there and actually figure out how it managed to get it wrong.
I also helped the guy doing the original PDP-11 backend for gcc, but once more, I understood the PDP-11 side of things, but not much of the gcc internals...
But I have tried. :-)
All respect to you then, Paul.
Johnny
