Very nice!
Definitely saving this one in my hecnet folder for future use. :)
I also have Zane's URL saved as well.
I put an info.txt file in the decnet default directory on MISER earlier today.
Cheers,

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 have a CGI that shows active nodes. Assuming of course my systems are
online (at this point I plan to keep them online at least through the
winter).

There's also this list,

which I update from time to time as people send me changes. Plus Johnny
keeps another list (albeit less detailed than mine :-)
The INFO.TXT idea is great, but remember that not all systems on HECnet
are up 24x7. Most are only turned on occasionally at best, and sometimes
it's fun to know what's out there even if it's not on right now.

Great, thanks.
I can get them up onto a hecnet accessible drive, or an ftp site - let
me know which you'd prefer.
It'd have to be ftp for now. I need to get my new Linux box up and running
before I can get hooked-up to Hecnet.
Cheers,

Mark,
Have a look on RHESUS::, in the MEDIALIB dir there's a whole SPL, I think MAILBUS might be there, in fact:
RHESUS::DKA0:[SYS0.FAL$SERVER.MEDIALIB.AXP.SPL.DISK4.MTA030]
might be just the thing you're looking for.

Hello,
I just tried installing the kit for X.500 from 7.3-2/Alpha on 8.3/Alpha and
it refused to install. Does anyone know where I could lay my hands on:
HP OpenVMS Enterprise Directory v5.4 and HP Administrator for Enterprise
Directory v2.2
HP MAILbus 400 MTA & SDK v3.2-12
It's more than a little annoying that the hobbyist licence PAKs give you
access to tons of stuff that is a nightmare to track down.

funny you should ask, I'm just looking through the dec campus distro I
'acquired' a while back, I'll check the software manifest now...
