Well if you've got a better and more DEC oriented I'm open to running that too... :) Sampsa On 17 Aug 2008, at 17:49, Phil Mendelsohn wrote: Sampsa Laine wrote: Guys, I've set up an IRC server for our use on silverback.sampsa.com port 6655 (non-standard port, I know).

Name resolution with DECnet-Plus

by sampsa＠mac.com

Follow up: I "upgraded" to DECnet PhaseIV, everything is working swimmingly.

I am running DECnet-Plus on OpenVMS 8.3, with the name resolution set to local. Any idea how I can get this to resolve PhaseIV addresses? Sampsa

Faceplate or floor stand for DS20E

by bob＠jfcl.com

A friend of mine was giving away some AlphaServer DS20E (it s a long story :-). It s hardly even an antique, being less than ten years old, but on a whim I decided to take one. I m glad I did; it s a really nice server. Works great, has four 9.1Gb 10K SCSI drives (sadly mine doesn t have the 6 slot SCSI chassis), and 4Gb of DRAM. Yes, 4Gb of RAM; that s a lot for a 2000 vintage machine. I m tempted load OpenVMS 8.3 and use it to replace LEGATO, if I can afford the approximately 300kWh/month electric bill. Unfortunately the machines were the rack mount configuration and are for some reason missing their faceplates, and it s kind of ugly. Does anybody have an extra DS20 faceplate that they can spare? Even better would be a set of floor pedestal skins for the DS20. Thanks, Bob

New IP Address

by christine.caulfield＠googlemail.com

Bob Armstrong wrote: My new IP address is 82.8.22.230 Ok, done. I'll keep chrissie.homelinux.net up to date if that helps. Unfortunately neither my router nor Multinet can use DNS to generate rules - the IP has to be put in manually. Yes, I know that about multinet, annoying isn't it! Just to give advance warning, I'll be away from the 20th to the 26th July, so Zarqon will be offline then too. If the weather stays as it is, he will be back on soon after I get back though.
