Another sillyness. More information in the nodename database on MIM.

by bqt＠softjar.se

This is a totally volontary thing. I've finally come to the point where I think that there are a few more pieces of data on nodes that would be nice/useful to have from time to time. So I've extended the nodename database on MIM for this. The fields that I have added are CPU, OS and location. You can see an example of values by going to http://madame.update.uu.se/~bqt/hecnet?node=mim So, feel free to submit data to me for nodes you know. Or look up information. Or suggest interfaces that you'd like to get to extract this information, and I'll try and comply. :-) Johnny

DECserver software collection

Now I see on this mailing list some messages about DECserver software, so I thought about sharing whatever I know and have, to help others running their DECservers and maybe to increase my collection too. Here is what I have: MNENG1.SYS V1.1C BL46-13 MNENG1_A.SYS V1.1C BL46A-13 From Digital? MNENG2.SYS V2.0 BL10D-40 MNENG2_DNPG.SYS V2.4 BL50 Copyright Digital Networks, DNPG, LLC MNENG3_DNPG.SYS V2.4 BL50 Copyright Digital Networks, DNPG, LLC PS0801ENG.SYS V2.0 BL23 PR0801ENG.SYS V3.3A BL40 DP0601ENG.SYS V2.0 BL29-04 SH1601ENG.SYS V2.2C BL46-13 WWENG1.SYS V1.1C BL46-13 WWENG2.SYS V2.0 BL10D-40 And this is what I miss (both from Digital): MNENG3.SYS MNENG4.SYS Finally, these should be the corresponding DECserver hardware devices: DECserver 90L+ PROM-based, no firmware DECserver 90TL MNENG1.SYS or MNENG2.SYS DECserver 90M (1MB mem) MNENG2.SYS DECserver 90M (2MB mem) MNENG3.SYS DECserver 90M+ (4MB mem) MNENG4.SYS DECserver 100 PS0801ENG.SYS DECserver 200 PR0801ENG.SYS DECserver 250 DP0601ENG.SYS DECserver 300 SH1601ENG.SYS DECserver 700 (1MB mem) WWENG1.SYS DECserver 700 (2MB mem) WWENG2.SYS DECserver 900TM WWENG2.SYS So, MNENG4.SYS seems to be the most important miss in my collection... Thanks to everyone, :) G. P.S. If you see anything wrong, let me know! :) Thanks. That was a great summary. We should just make them all available on HECnet as well. Care to send me copies? Or do someone already have all of them available? Like I said before, a few of them are already on MIM. Johnny

HECnet LAT groups...

by bqt＠softjar.se

Hi. I'd like to ask people to look over their LAT setups. Looking at group 0 right now, the list is rather long, and containing lots of services that looks like they really would be better placed in some other group. The idea of group 0 has been to have publicly available systems in group 0, so that people using DECservers can just look at group 0, and whatever local groups they have, and not have a long list of services that are of no relevance at all to them.

Phone company (US) and DEC hardware and the mainframe

by wonko＠4amlunch.net

I don't know anything about billing but the ESS and newer switches all had Datakit interfaces. Back in the mid-90s I supported systems that did traffic analysis of phone switches (mainly for capacity planning) via the Datakit network. The original systems were 3b2 boxes and the new replacement machines were SPARCstation 20 boxes. The products were COER [0] that ran on the 3b2 and TDMS [1] on the SS20. The source code to COER was missing which made dealing with bugs fun. Especially as it had a bad habit of corrupting its own db randomly. -brian [0] Central Office Equipment Recording [1] Traffic Data Management System On May 16, 2013, at 1:23, Gregg Levine <gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com> wrote: Hello!

(Or even had the same DEC hardware who ran the phone system, do the billing itself?) Basically the story thus told contains a heck of a lot of holes, and in here I'm hoping that someone does know the details. Running those systems now must be quite an accomplishment now though. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
