How easy is it to get mail in and out of VMS mail using say DCL?
Sending is pretty easy, but reading it would require you to do some
parsing (which, of course, can be done).
But there is an API for VMS mail and it'd be easier to write a program to
do it instead (unless you really want to prove that you can do it in DCL)...

Oh and I'll be moving house soon, upgrading my DSL line to a bonded 40 meg down / 3 meg up dealie. This will give me two spare BT lines that we could use for some kind of dial up retro goodness - I'm open to suggestions...

There are multiple routes now between Johnny's world and the Multinet
world...

Okay, things are a bit more robust than they were a couple years ago. I'm glad to hear that.

Well I've got a connection from 2.1 (LEGATO) coming over a MULTINET tunnel to GORVAX which is on Johnny's bridged network.
Or am I misunderstanding something?

Chrissie,
Are you the only routing area between the Multinet segments and the segments using Johnny's bridge at the moment?
We finally got the house about a month and a half ago. So I'm now sitting on a 20/5 "Commercial Grade" FIOS line, but have yet to get any of my servers online. I'm afraid the odds are you'll be back online before I can get any of my servers up. I still have to find all the cables for them, and sort out cooling. :-(

Hi All,
I'll be on holiday for a few days, so Zaphod will be offline until at
least Friday 10th July. Maybe a little longer if I forget to switch him
back on again ;-)

I need to know the handle for the FTP site where you're based Johnny.
I guess you're talking about ftp.update.uu.se
I tried what I thought it was, namely sticking the phrase ftp infront
of the domain name for the list after the period of course. The client
thought that's what it was and promptly hung whilst trying to resolve
the domain name appropriately. This happened on two different ones.
Sounds weird...

Hello!
Sometimes I actually do forget that the US, and NYC isn't the center
of the world, and everything starts and ends here, like the way we
work out the time of day....
I suspect that I caught the server during its possibly nonscheduled down time.
Now everything is working.

That server went down yesterday sometime during the night/morning and
was rebooted around lunchtime. Perhaps you tried during that time span.
Let me know if you have more problems.
Cheers,
Pontus.
