Yes let me check whether it is on-line 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? Does anyone have a copy of the VMS Alpha hobbyist kit that I could get electronically? I have ordered and paid for a physical copy a couple of weeks ago, and I have my Paypal receipt to prove it, but I haven't heard anything back about it being shipped. Ian

Ultrix downloads from SLAVE...

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! Regards, Mark.

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

That's what I was thinking Sampsa. OTOH Steve is quite right that we shouldn't rock the boat too much. Probably HP isn't interested in the media. But they are surely alerted if we'd trade licenses: which we don't (and never would). -----Original Message----- From: Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> Sender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Date: Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:12:35 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE<hecnet at Update.UU.SE> Reply-To: hecnet at Update.UU.SESubject: Re: [HECnet] Any interest in Alpha software/documentation from March 2003?
