Thanks for the compliment ;) Sadly, not enough time to play with all my toys ...

Forgive me for being short of brain cells but where does the -dDPORT=xxxx command actually go in?
Sorry. I have not really done the full job here.
The cc command takes that switch, but it's not obvious, when using the makefile, how you get that in there.
Depending on your make, and the phase of the moon, and so on, you might get it by doing:
"make CCOPTS=-dDPORT=xxx"
or
"make CCFLAGS=-dDPORT=xxx"
and CCFLAGS might be CFLAGS, and CCOPTS might be COPTS, I just can't remember straight off my head.
but it might be something else as well. You could also just change the makefile to include that flag on the c compile line.

Moving Chrissies machines from area 3 to area 6 help in no way with area 1.
Just thought if we wanted to free Area 3 it was better than moving them to Area 1 which will just add to the confusion :)
So, if Chrissie don't mind, then let's get that worked over.
That's all on proviso that Chrissie's wants to move...
Could Chrissie and you, Mark, work this over and give me an update?
Will see where it goes. Presumably it would mean I have to provide area routing 24/7?
That's not an issue provided the power stays on at my place. My area router needs manual intervention to restart.
I'm happy to move my nodes. My remaining ones are
3.10 ARTHUR Linux
3.34 ROOSTA simh Emulated VAX
3.30 MARSHA VAXstation 4000VLC
If you assign me some numbers in area 6 I will renumber them

I can say nothing for Italian network, but for Croatian I can
assure you it's Slovenian, does not use area 54 and can be
squeezed to any area with ten or twenty unoccupied
addresses.
Hi Rok,
Apologies - I should have taken more careful note of your
correction before I posted. I've even been to Ljubljana several
years ago and I have some idea of issues in the region.
All I can say by way of excuse is that email is an excellent
tool for putting ones foot in ones mouth :-(
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.

And since it seems area 3 is about to cleared up, you can keep using that, and have all 1023 addresses to play with, without any problems. Let me know if you need more... :-)

I'd say that you can probably take area 54. I should check with Tore, if
he's still around, but since it hasn't been used in all this time, odds
are that you are free to go.
I knew Tore from the cctech list. In fact I gave him a Vaxstation 3100
which once lived in area 54 - maybe that's why he asked for that area :-)
I haven't seen any communication from Tore for a long time now. Perhaps he
has lost interest and moved on to other things?

On the subject of connecting to HECnet, would anyone be interested in being
the other end of a Multinet link to my network? I have a fixed ip address
which is up all the time and at least two of my DECnet capable machines are
running all the time. I think I have all the needed bits and pieces of software
and licenses.
Sounds like we should be able to get you up and running in no time.
Great stuff - thanks.

Peter Coghlan.

Ah. Sure. Good point.

That is up to you to decide upon. I have no opinion. :-)
