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

Linux dropping support for DECnet

by bob＠jfcl.com

As others have mentioned, the Panda distribution uses KLH10 not simh. It's supposed to come with a precompiled klh10 executable for Linux and Intel. It also comes with a pre-installed, ready to boot, system image that you can use after some minimal configuration, and there's README file that describes how to boot and configure it. I've got to admit that it's been a while since I tried it, but I don't remember any problems. What's the issue you're having? As for Linux DECnet, I'm afraid this has absolutely no connection. The Linux DECnet package allows a Linux machine to speak DECnet natively (well, more or less) so a Linux machine can participate as a node in a DECnet network. This is independent of any simulations or simulated operating systems. If you have a lot of DEC machines, it's very handy to be able access your Linux machines with FAL/NFT, SET HOST, NCP/NML, etc. Bob

Linux dropping support for DECnet

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

With SIMH your best bet is TOPS-10. The Panda (MRC's updated TOPS-20) distribution requires KLH10 and I believe includes a slightly newer version than is otherwise available. I've never messed with the Panda distro, but have done my own installs. I've never had DECnet running on TOPS-20, but did have it working on TOPS-10 7.04 thanks to a kit I got somewhere. I really liked the LAT support, since it allowed me to connect with a VT420. SIMH doesn't support Networking, but KLH10 does. My emulated TOPS-20 system was running TCP/IP, but I haven't had it online in years. Zane At 10:04 PM +0000 11/30/11, hvlems at zonnet.nl wrote: Is the Panda distribution a PDP-10 emulator, like simh ? If so google for simh 's website. Bob Supnik provides detailed instructions on how to configure simh on linux as well as installation guides for several DEC operating systems. I tried and succeeded once to get TOPS-10 up and running, an os I am unfamiliar with. Hans -- | Zane H.

I don't know how many other HECnet people use Linux (I know I do!), but if you're interested you might want to join the linux-decnet-user list I'm still awaiting clear and complete instructions on how to set-up the Panda TOPS-20 distro on top of Linux, to even *become* a HECNET user. Until such time as the DECNET community cares enough to document this, I'm going to fail to particpate, and therefore give a damn. If you need clear and complete instructions on how to do it, are you sure you want to do it? Having said that, there are links to most of the documentation I'm aware of at my PDP-10 emulation website. http://www.aracnet.com/~healyzh/pdp10emu.html I won't guarantee that all the links are current, it's been a long time since I updated that part of the site. I've started working on some updates, but to the best of my recollection no one has sent updates on the PDP-10 stuff. Setting up KLH10 is a pretty basic compile, IIRC. The instructions with KLH10 should be enough to accomplish that. You might want to get on the alt.sys.pdp10 newsgroup, as that's a good place to ask questions. Basically don't expect the "community" to do something for you, if you want something, take the time to research the available resources, and then ask questions in the appropriate places if you're stuck.
