Connecting to HECnet from DEC Legacy 19-20 Oct

by Paul_Koning＠Dell.com

It's hard to describe Multinet with words that are printable. It was designed by fools who never bothered to understand the DECnet architecture specifications and were utterly clueless about competent protocol design. Avoid it if at all possible. GRE tunneling is a good answer. (So is SIMH DMC emulation, if both ends can speak it.) paul On Sep 22, 2013, at 4:18 PM, Robert Jarratt <robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com<mailto:robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com>> wrote: I don t have multinet and I have never installed it. What protocol does it use under the covers, is it something proprietary to multinet? Could I get the DECbrouter I bought recently to interoperate with your side? If it is not too hard I could try implementing Multinet interop in my user mode router.

If you want to use the GRE tunnels I can give you access to the db to update your IP. -brian On Sep 22, 2013, at 16:18, "Robert Jarratt" <robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com> wrote: I don't have multinet and I have never installed it.

Steve, I'm out of the country and the new GORVAX is running UCX, not MULTINET :( It was crashing all the time for some odd reason.
