What DEC created operating systems support the networking protocol used?

by gregg.drwho8＠gmail.com

Hello! I've managed to track down several examples of the RSTS family of operating systems from DEC. Would any of you have any clew as to which member specifically spoke the networking protocol that we use here to communicate within the whole business? These were of course for the PDP-11. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway."

To get the same level of service I had with my ISP and DSL, I'm stuck paying more than twice as much, plus I still have an account with my ISP to keep my email. Given the choice, I would much rather have my old slow DSL. Zane

PDXVAX and MONK online

I'm now sitting on a 20Mbit/5Mbit Commercial FIOS line, so I have more bandwidth than I know what to do with. I am noticing that DECnet performance seems drastically improved. Ain't FiOS grand? I've had FiOS here for about a year and a half and have loved it. I'd love to upgrade to their next higher tier that they have available (25 Mbps/15 Mbps) for just $10/month more, but since I have 5 IP addresses that I'm somehow getting for free now, if I were to upgrade I'd have to start paying for them as well making it quite not as attractive. --Marc

PDXVAX and MONK online

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

I'm happy to report that PDXVAX and MONK are *FINALLY* back online, after being down for a few days short of a year. I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay online all the time for the next month, but will try, it will depend on if we get another heat wave or not since I don't have any cooling for the computers. Things aren't totally back to normal, www.avanthar.com still points to my .Mac account, as I need to find time to move some data back to my own server. However, http://aracnet.com:8080/nodes/ is working at the moment to generate a list of what's currently online on HECnet. Since it shows CODA as a VAXstation 90A, I'm pretty sure my data file that lists machine types and offered services needs updated. :-) I'm now sitting on a 20Mbit/5Mbit Commercial FIOS line, so I have more bandwidth than I know what to do with.

SWXCR utility for OpenVMS 8.3

by sampsa＠mac.com

Ah I think I do actually. I'll have a look later, thanks.

SWXCR utility for OpenVMS 8.3

by marc＠bluevine.net

Any of you happen to have a copy of the SWXCR software for VMS 8.3? I've got two boxes with Mylex RAID controllers and would like to monitor them from VMS. I've got them, I think. I found these two PCSI files: DEC-AXPVMS-SWXCR-V0300--1.PCSI;1 DEC-AXPVMS-SWXCR_E-V0102--3.PCSI;1 I don't know what each one is, but I know I used these on my Alpha system that I used to have. Unfortunately, these are on my emulated system and I'm not quite sure how to get them from there to somewhere in the "real" world. I'll write to you privately when I figure that out. --Marc

Who's emulating?

by phiber＠phiber.com

Sorry, misunderstanding. This is definitely hobbyist use in my case, and I was just guessing (incorrectly it seems) that the network support I wanted was only available in the commercial version. Being that that's not the case, I for one think that either XM or XD support would be awesome, since I still use RSTS/E v8. :) But I understand it not being a priority. Regards, Mark John Wilson wrote: From: Mark Abene <phiber at phiber.com> Call me crazy, but I just don't think I'll be paying 4,000 dollars for E11/linux. So that's out. Why, is this for commercial use? I mean, it won't address this specific problem since I've never finished the XM: emulation in E11 (no real interest from users, but I've been meaning to get it done anyway it just on principle, especially since I rewrote the Ethernet link code for dual-DR11W IPLs a while back to make it general enough to be able to encapsulate protocols like DDCMP so that connections between like E11 machines would be easy), but hobby users can use the Demo version of E11 (for Linux or any other host OS) for free, indefinitely. It has some cripples, but it's still pretty luxurious compared to any real PDP-11 system I ever had... John Wilson D Bit
