Hello, Sometimes there seem to be issues with the licensing system at Montagar. The guy behind the system is AFAIK doing the hobbyist maintenance in his spare time. I have also had to wait a couple of times for my licenses. You can send him mail or just try the license fetching again. Kari

License widgets and Hobbyists VMS

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

I think the licensing mechanism relies on external links that aren't always that reliable. Post a message on openvmshobbyist.org asking about the state if you have no luck. Mark.

Gregg, I have sent you the HECnet area list. If someone is on HECnet, or just logged into Mim (telnet to Mim.Update.UU.SE, and login with guest/guest), you can check areas and nodenames at: MIM::US:[DECNET]DECNET.TXT (areas) MIM::US:[DECNET]NODENAMES.ALL (nodenames) And as others mentioned, areas only go from 1 to 63, while node numbers within one area go from 1 to 1023. And there is no special algorithm for assigning area numbers. If you think you want one, and it's free, just let me know.

Hello! I'm in the processof obtaining a system with the mentality who could be able to run this Free AXP emulator. So far I've got it installed on this laptop. As far as the OS goes, it will be VMS for the AXP platform. I've got it tagged as such. Next question, how are we numbering areas, this season? For example, I am interested in 156. The chosen Name would then announced shortly after all is well with regards to the installation arrangements. The bridging program would be running on my Linux box, with the host for the Free AXP emulator sending its data thatway. Incidentally Sampsa pat yourself on the back, and enjoy an extra something to drink, because you were the inspiration this week for that idea. (I don't know if the system arrives this week or next. There are some idiotic legal issues involved.) ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

shutting down area 44

by hvlems＠zonnet.nl

Sampsa (and others), At around midnight local Dutch time (UTC+2) the ftp server Cesium will be shut down, owing to the noise and heat that the system produces..

If there are people interested to finish their ftp sessions, please let me know and I ll start the systems tomorrow again. It is too noisy in the house (and too expensive) to keep them running.
