Does the hecnet bridge compile and run on tru64? I've got 5.1c installed on a machine I'm taking to DEC Legacy and I'd rather not take another linux machine if possible.
I still need to work this out on one of my Tru64 machines so this is all loose theory so bear with me but
Tru64, being a UNIX has the environment required, so that's a start.
You can bootstrap and use NetBSD pakgsrc on Tru64 I THINK. It lists OSF/1 as a supported environment, which I think is their way of saying they support it? I dunno if anyone ever tried it out?
Given bootstrapped pkgsrc you then have all the OSS compiler tools required to compile the bridge binary
????
Profit?
I really ought to get it working properly on my PWS500au and try it for certainty.

I tried it more than a year ago on a v5.0 system and it's C compiler barfed on it. Since the bridge program runs very well indeed on a small laptop under fedora 14 I didn't pursue the tru64 track.

OK, so given that I have so little time at the moment I'm going to ask a
question that I could answer if I had a chance to play.
Does the hecnet bridge compile and run on tru64? I've got 5.1c installed
on a machine I'm taking to DEC Legacy and I'd rather not take another
linux machine if possible.
Thanks for the help, Mark.

I haven't tried, and I haven't heard anyone else, but I do believe it should work... Might need to tweak a thing or two...

Thankyou so much Ian and Mark.
I'd been googling and googling but never came up with the right thing! Thats perfect.

The nice part of a system like this is that you can have a single plate and fill it with a bunch of differenct connectors - everything from cat5 ethernet, to cable tv, to BNC (great for your thin-net network).

Google for "wallplate WP509". Assuming of course you meant wall plate, you want the WP509, MMJ wallplate. There are many sources, ranging from 5 to 15 bucks per piece.
