Probably some value in your MONGEN is not correct, so your monitor cannot
allocate something it needs. See my other message with my working MONGEN.

We could just hook up MOP traffic between us, and MIM will boot it. :-)

This is right after loading the monitor and pressing GO.

I didn't think a DECserver could do this (or at least not an old,

one like a 100 or 200). You guys are saying it can?
I've done it fine on my DECserver 200/MC. She's smarter than you think.

I'll go dust off an old DECserver and plug it in, and then I'll give it

Hello!
I'll say. I have a collection of 90L-Pluses here. Getting them to work
is an interesting problem. I'm basically trying to find the rack that
they use to enable a more normal Ethernet connection to them, but it's
slow going.
If you have a collection, i'll take one! ;)
Also, did you ever get those SCSI controllers to work?

Ran out of time for trying them out. I've poked the appropriate amount
of time back into my schedule. So it'll be sooner. As for the numbers,
only three of them.

I do have a Chase IOLan console server that I could be convinced to turn
loose of.

Guys
Here s the situation I ve got several PDP11s and a couple of PDP8s and I
want them all to be able to share a single console terminal. I could just
use an old fashioned RS232 switch box, but I was looking for something
better. For one thing, a smart switch that would actually buffer output
from the unselected ports would be nice, and it d be nice to be able to
change the selected port from the terminal keyboard. What d be idea is
something like the multi session support that some of the later VTxxx
terminals had, but with multiple physical ports and without any special host
software. It d also be nice if I wasn t limited to just one physical console
but I could use any terminal anywhere on the network too.
I thought about using a DECserver in reverse LAT for this, but AFAIK the
only way to connect to a DECserver in reverse is from a real host system,
like VMS or RSX. That means my console terminal would have to connect to a
VAX, log in, and from there connect out again to the DECserver and the PDP-11
or 8 console port. Kinda complicated and ugly.
I don t think there s any way to have one terminal server connect directly
to another terminal server w/o a host system in between, at least not with
LAT. Telnet would be OK, if anybody can recommend a multi-port telnet
terminal server that works in reverse. It d be especially cool if it can
telnet to itself then I could just connect directly from one port on the
server to another.
Anyway, I was thinking that I can t be the only collector with a bunch of
computers and room for only one console, so I thought I d ask what other
people are using.
Thanks,
Bob

It s a big guy, isn t it ?? Can it connect directly from one port to another?
I'd say that's pretty compact for thirty ports.
Like Ian, I deployed and maintained lots and lots of these at dialup ISPs
in the 90s. They are amazingly good boxes.
