As other have said - welcome. I looked at GRE several years ago, but could not make head or tails of it for the requrements of DECnet, so I gave up on that. The bridge program that I wrote does something more or less equivalent. Most of HECnet is either using the bridge, or else DECnet over IP on VMS running Multinet. There might also be someone able to do Cisco DECnet over IP, not sure. I don't know the physical location of Steve Davidson, but I bet he can tell, and help you get connected...

Hi folks! I think I'm acquainted with some of you, but for those who don't know me from other places, my name is Dave McGuire, and I'm a DECaholic. =) I'm a DEC hack from way back, having cut my teeth on a PDP-11/34a running RSX-11M and later RSTS/E almost thirty years ago. Years ago I was a commercial VMS sysadmin. PDP-11s and RSTS/E are my biggest passions, but I'm basically a fan of most things DEC. For a living, I'm an embedded systems developer; I design hardware and write firmware. I recently acquired a commercial building near Pittsburgh, and am slowly constructing a "living" computer museum here. I'm working on the nonprofit paperwork now, and hope to have it open to the public in a year or so. I have lots of fun hardware here; several PDP-8s, countless PDP-11s and VAXen, two PDP-10s, some big IBM iron, several Cray supercomputers, and many more. Many of them are functional, more every day as I get more "oscilloscope time". Brian Hechinger and Sridhar Ayengar are old friends of mine, and they've mentioned HECnet to me several times over the years, but now it's time. I have a Cisco 7206VXR with DECnet enabled, Brian helped me out by allocating area #61, and I'm running two DECnet-connected machines 24x7: my desktop machine running Linux and an AlphaServer DS10L running VMS. I run other machines as time permits. So...Can I play too? :-) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Setting up Bridge?

Guess this is what I get for not having a system online on HECnet for a couple years. :-) Which is why you asked. :-D I'm currently trying to get VAX/VMS v5.5 running under SIMH, which I in turn have running under Ubuntu 11.10 which is running in Parallels Desktop 7 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (I suspect I might be crazy for trying that combo). Why not just run simh directly on OSX? Can the Mac telnet/ssh into the SIMH emulator if it's running directly on SIMH? Besides by running under Parallels, I can do things like suspend the emulation if I need to free up resources on my Mac. I don't see why not. The suspending thing is definitely nice, but it's not like it's that hard to shut down VMS. :-D On a positive note, I figured out how to get networking working, and currently have it running OpenVMS 7.3 and TCPIP. OTOH, SIMH blows up when I try to FTP the latest Multinet release into SIMH. Well, that's good news anyway. :-D As to it blowing up, that's less good. :-/ -brian

Re: Any interest in Alpha software/documentation from March 2003?

I'm going to be migrating my virtual machines around and DUSTY will, at that point, no longer be running all the time. So, for those who may want to get these ISO files while I've got them temporarily around, please write to me directly and I'll give you a pointer. --Marc
