I've added a second guest account, B4BBS, that connects to my bulletin
board.
Some games (main menu option X) and Fidonet echos are available :)
I'm kinda out of touch here - is Fidonet still alive? I thought that
disappeared ages ago.
My wife used to administer a Fidonet node; if Fidonet is still around
she'll really want to try it out.

Well the ANSI backgammon is pretty kick ass..

You're trying to convince me to get my DECnet router back up and running aren't you...

Yeah, did that earlier, Chrissie suggested it over the IRC, it works now.

I'm not positive, but I bet that one of your logicals isn't quite right inside a command procedure.
I *think* what you want is, before you run the command that's giving that error:
$ DEFINE/USER SYS$INPUT SYS$COMMAND
By default, SYS$INPUT refers to the command procedure itself, and that's not a valid source for SMG$ operations. This would redirect the input for the next run program to SYS$COMMAND which should be the controlling terminal.

Any ideas?

Guys,
I've added a captive account to run a Tetris clone on CHIMPY, login TETRIS, no password needed.
Well, I don't think I have any TETRIS around, but MIM::SYS$GAMES: contains several fun programs, such as PACMAN (PAC.TSK), EMPIRE, ADVENTURE and DUNGEON.
There are some other fun programs there as well...

Hmm. Is this the same machine as is running the bridge?
Johnny
Yes, is that a problem?
Could very well be. The problem is that the bridge program cannot
exactly feed the ethernet input on the same machine as it is running,
nor hear data sent out on the ethernet port of the same machine. That
is, unless the hardware will do this for you. Some hardware do, but
most don't. So you don't see your own data, which makes it impossible
for my bridge program to handle the machine it itself is running on.
Johnny
I think I separated the bridge and linuxDECnet dnetd onto separate
NICs so they can see each other...
dnetinfo shows:
The next hop to the nearest area router is node 0.0
Node Cost Hops Next hop to node
1.10 4 1 if0 -> 1.266
1.500 kahea 0 0 lo -> 1.500 kahea
but I don't seem to see any neighbors, so maybe still not right.
That table looks so wrong that it's horrible. :-)
I don't even dare guessing exactly what is wrong at your end...
It's not quite as bad as it looks. 'lo' is a loopback link to the local
node (which is correct). I'm not sure where the other two nodes come
from though!
By they way, Angela, you don't need to be running dnroute if your node
is an end-node (which it seems to be). In a situation where the rest of
it doesn't seem to be working properly it's only confusing the issue I
suspect :)
