PDXVAX - 40MB Memory - VAXstation 4000/VLC?

RAM requirement for ALL-IN-1 is hard and fast) Where is PDXVAX still noted as a 4000/VLC? The fans went out before everything went crazy for us. It's been a 4000/60 for a while now. No idea on the RAM requirements for ALL-IN-1. My big problem is that it doesn't seem to want to install on modern versions of OpenVMS/Alpha. You now have me thinking about how I could install it on PDXVAX. Zane -- | Zane H.

RAM requirement for ALL-IN-1 is hard and fast) Would appear to be only one way to find out...

DECNET over PPP?

by sampsa＠mac.com

I recently came across this: "RFC1762 - The PPP DECnet Phase IV Control Protocol (DNCP)" -- (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1762.html) What kind of software/hardware supports this? Anyone interested in having a play if it's deployable with reasonable effort? Sampsa

Looks like you are bouncing between two routers, one of which is faulty at the moment (PONDUS). Why you would get to PONDUS, I don't know. I know it is faulty because adjacency is down. The problem with PONDUS is that it can stop receiving ethernet packets, but is still sending. There is a bug somewhere inside the DECnet driver, which I'd like to find, if I just had the sources... I'll have someone kick on PONDUS on sunday, when someone is physically close to the machine again. An endnode normally should pick the router with the highest priority, which can be heard. MIM is at 96, and should be picked, unless something else is funny. PONDUS should only be at 64, even if it is working. Johnny Oleg Safiullin wrote: Hi. Is something wrong with subj?

Thanks for the positive feedback! The obvious thing to add is a HECNETINFO command, that displays this file on a given host - we want this information to be easily accessible from the DCL side as well rather than just the Web, I think.

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. Bob
