Hello,
I finally managed yo get a console working on this...so I want to get it on to HECnet again
However when booting from CD-ROM: %SYSBOOT-E-System version mismatch found EXEC_INIT.EXE
What am I forgetting to do?

Not at all. One can even run X11 over LAT!

So when they talk about LAT support they're not going to fall back into =
some kind of VT220 emulator but try to actually connect to an X11 server =
over LAT? How do you tell DECwindows to even answer those requests?
I'm not quite following your question. LAT is just a transport just like
TCP/IP and DECnet. Why do you thing there should be any issue with an X11
client and the X11 server? It's transparent to them.

Fantastic. I remember reading that a long long time ago, just when we were phasing the VMS machines and terminals out in favour of Ultrix DECstations and VAXstations.

This book is hilarious, and can be copied from CHIMPY::UGH.PDF over HECnet.

Brian, how do you think this is going? Are we going to get them to hook =
up?
I do believe so. There are some other things concerning Eisner that need
to be addressed before connection to HECnet (not involving the connection)
but I'm not at liberty to discuss them publicly. It's nothing ominous, so
just sit tight.
Good to hear that! Something I've been considering for a while is that if they were to join, should we invite their whole userbase to the HECnet mailing list or possibly just the EISNER adminds?
I personally think the admins would make a better choice, there are lists like DECTEK for general DEChead stuff.

I ran it very briefly between a MicroVAX-II and a VAXstation-2000 a
long time ago, just to play with it. It was neat when I got it working,
but then it dawned on me that it really wasn't any different from
running it over TCP/IP. ;)
Meaning it works for a few minutes and then breaks completely? ;)

Save that there's more information in the DECnet for authentication.

Lots. Over DECnet, the node and username are part of the X11 authentication.

How about SOS? Perhaps EDT's line mode is close enough
(or my ZX81 port), but it would be nice to have an Emacs emulation
mode where the cursor neatly always stays in the minibuffer...

Emacs has an OBSCENE learning curve. But if you give it the time that
it takes, it will reward you for the rest of your life.
I full agree with that sentiment, I can use Emacs to a basic degree (I don't progam in elisp or anything) and it is a very effective editor.
Shame it doesn't come as standard on all *nix boxes, I have to revert to vi (UNIX) or nano/pico (most Linux distros)
