I enjoyed the HECNet Notes conference on MONK:: while it was up (I'd love to host that myself, or see if someone else could pick that up - I'm *this* close to hooking up my Alpha, MISER to a battery).
I also know some other folks have demo/guest accounts set up on their systems, and of course like a bone-head I forgot to save some of them when they came across the list. I probably should dig in the mailman archives for them. Once I reorganize my home office I also have a VAXStation 4000/90A I'd like to get on HECNet as well as someday perhaps being able to acquire one of those Itaniums I see on eBay that go for cheap occasionally.

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.
Hi,
I was wondering what use everyone is making of HECnet. My environment (DECnet area 19) has just come up. Johnny and I have done simple tests and everything that we have tried so far seems to work quite well.
Comments?

speaking of hecnet I posted the 'updated' version of the simh stuff on
the simh list, and the full source/binary stuff is available at
sourceforge....

Does anyone have experience with setting up NEWSRDR to authenticate to my ISP's mail server, or is there a client out there for OpenVMS that supports this? This error message suggests that NEWSRDR does not.
I think you want to point it at your ISP's news server. :-)
Erm ...
The HECNet list is required to read my mind, didn't you know that? ;) ;)
That's what I get for sending out a message right before I turn in for the night ...
ISTR trying NEWSRDR about 10 years ago, but at that point my ISP didn't require a login for the news server (i.e. this was before they outsourced it). No clue on if it supports authentication or not.
Gotcha. It successfully connects, but gets confused when the news server wants authentication. I may try to find a copy of ANU News and try that. I was browsing around on c.o.v and saw that someone was able to patch NEWSRDR to do authentication - I may mail that gentleman directly and see if I cold acquire a copy.
Cheers,
Fred

Apologies if this is slightly off topic, but there's far less noise here than comp.os.vms - plus I don't have to wear my "asbestos underwear" here.
