If anyone actually wants a VT340, or some other terminal, it's actually not that hard to find one. There are companies that are in the business of selling refurbished terminals. Just Google for them, and you'll find plenty.

What kind of prices are they usually asking for? I've seen some DEC refurb stuff go for crazy money.
Then again it'd be nice to know that my new shiny toy won't blowup in 48 hours.

Not really, no.
Why not just get a static IP? Kiddies are pirating so much that for the same $ I sacrificed 100gb but got unmetered uploads and ANNEX M. That still leaves me with 100GB. How much do you need?

Scripts?
Brian's scripts that push out new configs upon IP change.
I don't have brians scripts, and I'm using a config tool based on
netconf/yang to configure my routers. A Yang model for HECNet, anyone?
Meanwhile, if anyone need me to change a tunel on a box I hapens to
operate, send me a email with the needed info.
(Why do addresses change? T10 nor T20 speak DHCP or ND?)

A quick and dirty reply is : set WSEXTENT to 4 times the value of WSQUO and
see whether the uucp thing keeps running for a longer period of time.
In general I don't like WSEXTENT to be less than WSQUO and certainly not
less than WSDEF.

I use the H8571-J to connect to serial ports on Windows (ducks) based pc's.
This works well for the AlphaServer 800 (MMJ console) as well as for the
AlphaServer 1200/1000 models with just two ports.
I have two old Compaq pc's that run XP with 3 or 4 two-port serial
interfaces.
I run PuTTY on them, one instance for each serial console, works like a
charm.

Onderwerp: RE: [HECnet] MMJ to DB9 serial adapter
There are several connector models that fit a DE9.
The H8571-J works for me for all my Alpha's as well as VAXstation 4000
and VAX(station) 3100 models.
The H8571-J works in combination with the 25-pin H8571-E (male) and
H8571-A (female).
The H8575-B only works in pairs, not with any of the H8571-x models,
no idea how it is wired inside.

I tired hooking up my multisync monitor I have hooked up to my DEC 3000, but I don't think the graphic card is set to a setting within the monitor's range, as nothing shows up.
Do the DEC 3000 have a VGA port?
No it has a 3W3 port and the cable outputs to BNC connectors.
One built-in and one on the add-on graphic card.
Aha. So it's video signal with sync on green. You need to have a monitor that can handle this. Many today don't...
That is most likely your problem, and not frequencies...

Second, DEC often used a different pinout for a DE9 than IBM did, so you
might not be too happy with the adapter, depending on what you want in
the end.
In this case, the DEC-machine-facing side is the MMJ. (at least that
is my understanding)
Mine too. But he was asking for a MMJ to DE9 adapter as well. And I was
pointing out that the (most) common adapter is not IBM PC compatible.
I don't believe that the most common MMJ adapters are NOT PeeCee compatible.
I have and I have come across manymnay more that are PeeCee compatible that
those that are not. The original 9-pin pinout was abandoned pretty early on
in the MMJ adapter history. See the OpenVMS FAQ for actual part number for
these adapters.

Maybe I'm wrong. But I have a number of MMJ-DE9 adapters, received from multiple sources, but I do not have a single one which is PC compatible.
