The console RX02 on the 780 wasn't "visible" to VMS. You'd need. MC SYSGEN CONNECT CONSOLE to make that happen. I used a PDP-11/40 with RX02's but never actually seen such an interface on a VAX unibus. Very useful to transfer data between systems; this was before ethernet was common, let alone affordable. An alternative was the RL02. Which became the load device for the PDP-11/23 console in the 8600/8650.
I can't remember whether the RK05 was supported by VMS?

Correct, an RX02 floppy with a formatted capacity of 512 kB IIRC.
Absolutely, on the 11/03 CFE. And any of the UNIBUS VAXen (730, 750, 780,
etc) would directly support an RX01/02 on an RX211 interface. Such
combinations were not unusual and were supported by VMS. I've got a 11/730
with an RX02 drive in the garage. Likewise any of the BI bus VAXen with a
UBA could at least in theory do the same, though by that time 8" floppies
were uncommon.

Hm... didn't the 780 use an 8 inch floppy for console boot device?

Hey. I said ignore :D
On the more serious side, Perl was update on the mailserver and
majordomo uses some deprecated Perl features. I've dusted off my old
Perl-hat and fixed some issues, looks like I got something right :)
Hopefully this should keep us going for some time before we kick
majordomo out the door.
Mails sent during the downtime (a handfull) is lost (it seems).
Let me know if something else needs fixing.
Regards,
Pontus.

Sampsa,
Remember, Multinet uses UDP port 700 for the tunnels.

Subject: [HECnet] Weird question: Does anybody chow the external IP
address on GORVAX?
Had to replace my router today and lost a lot of port forwarding data
with it.
Anyway, if anyone who regularly connects to GORVAX (say for multinet), I
would appreciate the info

Hello!
Sadly it was never properly documented online, they left it to the few
paper manuals on the subject. What happened? Explain to us what
happened and why these problems surfaced.

There are two ways to do it.
Physically pressing the reset button which is located in the back of the rx2600.
Using the console interface by the command XD.
