I just wanted to let you know that I have ported the bridge code to Windows. It seems to work well for me. If anyone is interested in a copy, let me know.
I think that it needs just a little bit more work to do the following:
1. Tidy up some bits that I almost certainly left behind while trying to get it to work.
2. Turn it into a Windows Service so that it starts automatically when Windows starts.
Another feature which would be nice to add generally is something which periodically re-resolves the DNS names in the config file to IP addresses, so that people who use something like DynDNS because they don t have a fixed IP address, can use it more easily and not fall off the network for too long when their IP address changes. Presumably calling the SIGHUP handler (read_conf) every so often would do the trick.
It would also be nice to make the code a bit more portable so that it will compile and run on more platforms without modification, a bit like SIMH.
Regards
Rob
Thank You!

Macro32 decides PRINT is an external symbol, and link denies to produce

error. How I should make forward declaration of PRINT function to show
assembler it is valid local symbol? In C language I can make prototype
declaration before calling. But what is a right way for Macro 32?
You have misunderstood what .END does.
.END means assembly stops there, and the argument is the start address
of the program.
So, your code for your PRINT routine is not even assembled. Make sure
you create a list file, and this should be obvious.

Fred, DEC tends over-engineer things so possibly one fan may work provided the box is not loaded with disks. The VS4k series were designed for 5400 rpm disks and not for 7200 rpm or faster running disks. My solution would be to put storage in an external cabinet.
You could try and apply e little graphite powder in the noisy fan bearing, better yet use a molybdenium based lubricant: these do not conduct electricity.
I haven't opened my VS4000-x0's for year and cannot recall what the powersupplies look like, sorry.

Onderwerp: [HECnet] VAXStation 4000/90A power supply fan
Verzonden: 18 november 2011 14:13
Good morning ...
Subject mostly says it all. One of the fans in my VS4K 90A is noisy. I'd
like to replace it. (actually both) Two questions arise:
How the **** do I get the fans out of the power supply? I've got the
power supply out (that's easy), mostly apart (that's not so easy) but do
not seem to see any screws on the fans.
Would it be safe to run it with just one (quiet) fan?
Any pointers or links would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred
----
Lets call it for what it is - "legacy" is a term that people use in a
polite but derogatory manner to imply that the future direction they
prefer is not that which they view as the current direction.
I'd caution against running it with one fan - I think the point of having two is in case one fails, and like hard drives it does occasionally happen.
Regards, Mark.

Hmm. Area 44 don't seem to be online...
Anyway, I just tried setting host from one RSX system to another, and running phone on the remote system, and it works fine.
Not sure exactly what you saw, however one point to make is that unless you are in a conversation, you are already at the % prompt, and typing % will do nothing.
Also, ^Z should get you out of phone on RSX anyway.

Ah, thank you so much.
I've read problems with SET HOST towards MIM in this thread which I didn't
notice.
What did not work was PHONE though. What I typed in on a local ALpha did
show up on MIM but I couldn't type into MIM's PHONE panel.
Hitting % didn't get me to the % prompt to exit PHONE on MIM.
The only way to log off was to disconnect by hitting ^Y twice at this end...
