Two options: One: I put the cd in osmium and you copy what you need. Two; I make an image on a pc, you copy that image and burn it Hans From: Ian McLaughlin <ian at platinum.net> Sender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2011 11:24:31 -0800 To: <hecnet at Update.UU.SE> ReplyTo: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: [HECnet] VMS Alpha Hobbyist kit?

VMS Alpha Hobbyist kit?

Hi guys, Is anyone attempting to download the Ultrix ISOs from SLAVE? If so, I'll save you a lot of time and pain by burning a CDROM and posting it. Regards, Mark. I do! I am almost finished and there was no pain at all :-) Thank you! OK, no problems, thanks for the response. It does raise a question at this end however. I have a remote use who logs in via telnet. Whilst I can happily limit the bandwidth that SLAVE uses overall at my router to stop the upstream connection saturating and causing therefore the downstream connection to grind to a halt, this also causes the connection to slow for my remote user. Can anyone suggest any techniques that I might use to prioritise telnet connections over HTTP connections? Is this something that solely comes down to the responsibility of a competent router, or does VMS provide any facilities? I suppose one way would be to configure a proxy and route http traffic via the proxy, or alternatively could I install two network cards in the ALPHA and serve the internet through one connection and telnet through the other (which would allow me to apply different upload/download restrictions based on IP address at the router. Could this same principle be applied to the HECnet connection? On a similar subject (sorry if this is becoming boring now!) I asked on comp.os.vms about flakey DE500 network cards. Am I right in thinking that DE602s are the way to go to stabilise the connection between two local cluster nodes? It would be nice to reach some kind of sensible balance, where everyone is happy!

Sure. But a discreet http site which is not published will go under the radar.

Put the contents online (somehow) for us to view and use when possible. Okay, I'll do that then. I've copied the CDs to .iso files and now need to get my Linux system to get a bit more room to hold them and then once that's reconfigured, I'll mount them on DUSTY:: (and send out a message when that's done to let everyone know where it is). I will happily rip and host the CD images for HECnet member use - I run a data center, so I have plenty of bandwidth to spare. I'll even pay for shipping if required. Thanks very much for the offer, Ian, but I've got a very decent Internet connection here (all hail, Verizon FiOS :-) ), so once I resize my Linux disk to hold these files, I'll be set. --Marc Hello! Marc for those of us who as yet do not have access via the networking methods that you've worked out with the rest of the group, can you set up access for normal methods? IE, via FTP or even HTTP? ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." Marc, We need to be careful about putting VMS kits in the public space. It's one thing to make them available for HECnet users within HECnet but another to put them accessible to the whole world. HP might (probably will), take a very dim view of this. Let's not temp fate and give them ammunition to shutdown the program. -Steve
