Dear all,
Following the announcement of the VSI "community licence" program, and
the fact that VAX software will *not* be licensed by VSI, I have
downgraded my VAXcluster to V4.6
I even implemented Adventure (both the "350" and the "551" version).
Check my article on LinkedIn
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/almost-back-future-wilm-boerhout/
I will be taking requests for guest accounts on VAX046. You *will* be
**in a twisty maze of little passages.
*Wilm*
Gentlepeople,
If you use PyDECnet as an area router, please make sure you're running rev 485 or later. There is a bug in older versions that sends incorrect routing messages to out of area neighbors, causing bad routes.

? I'm working on an 11/73 running Mplus? that is tight on disk space,
to the point that DECnet won't fit. I was wondering if RSX TCP/IP (that
consumes less disk space) would work on a Q bus machine without DECnet.
It's documented as possible for Unibus machines - can it work on a QBus
system?

A group of DEC collectors out here in Silicon Valley have been getting
together for lunch on the second Saturday of the month for about 20 years
now. The event is known as the "DEC Collector's Lunch", aka DCL (yes, isn't
that clever??), and we typically meet at a local restaurant. However with
the recent virus quarantines, lock downs, and restaurant closures, last
month we held a virtual DCL via Zoom video conference. That worked out
pretty well and it has occurred to me that, since we are no longer fettered
by geography, we could invite people from out of town as well. So, HECnet
users please consider yourselves invited.
We'll start at 11AM PDT, which is 6PM UTC, on Saturday May 9th and the
Zoom conference details are included below.

Does someone have a VMS system on HECnet with a guest login that I can
use? I need to log in and then SET HOST out again.
I'm working on fixing a few bugs in the DECnet/Linux NML and I need to
make a connection to my Linux machine from a node outside my local area for
testing purposes.
Thanks,
Bob
I've made some fixes to the DECnet/Linux NML server to bring it more in
line with other DECnet implementations, and these are enough to make Paul's
HECnet mapper happy with Linux nodes now. The only changes are to the
dnetnml program, and you can download the new sources from
LEGATO::dnetnml.zip.
FWIW, my changes were made starting from Erik Olofsen's dnprogs-2.68 from
http://rullf2.xs4all.nl/decnet/, but since the only thing that's changed is
dnetnml, I don't think it matters much which DECnet/Linux release you are
using.
And fair warning - this will really only work if your DECnet/Linux machine
is an end node. If your DECnet/Linux is a router then it will undoubtedly
return some wrong answers (and you will also mostly likely have bigger
problems than NML to worry about!).
Thanks, Paul, for answering my questions and explaining stuff to me.
Bob
