Hey Johnny,
Could you swap MINDY and MANDY please?
Currently SET HOST MINDY goes to MANDY and SET HOST MANDY goes to MINDY and I keep forgetting to get the list updated. ;)
Thanks!

I wonder if it would be possible to apply what you've done with TOPS-20 to
TOPS-10.
Once I get it working on TOPS-20 then we can try TOPS-10. My own efforts to
install DECnet on TOPS-10 have not gone well so far though, it fails to link
after MONGEN.

Rob
Assuming you follow the installation guide and that there's no version skew, any version of TOPS-10 that supports DECnet should build and run out of the box.
If you provide the specific version & tape images, commands used and all output, we can advise.
Do note that if you are using any unsupported/customer supported modules (e.g. the DMR driver), they need to be obtained from the 'customer supported' tape/directory and added to the build files.
This communication may not represent my employer's views,
if any, on the matters discussed.

That was the same problem I was having.
Same thing here.

Ahhhh. That would explain it.
Well... Area 32 used to be "reserved", yes. I don't remember that I had any nodenames in the database for area 32, but maybe I did. But I can't recall...
As for DECservers, people might have registered their names with me or not. Wouldn't really make much sense to register them (and if you use RSX for example, there is absolutely no point in setting up the DECservers in DECnet at all, just waste node numbers).

I don't think there's any specific simh support for a Multinet port, but
you can of course run Multinet "thru" simh (i.e. install Multinet on a si=

VAX/VMS system and tunnel DECnet thru the simh emulated Ethernet
controller). =20

I assume you're asking about a simh invention that talks to a remote
Multinet VAX/VMS system on the simh host side and pretends to be some oth=

device (like a DMR/DUP/DMV/whatever) on the simulated side - I've never s=

anything like that.
=20
DECnet/Linux can supposedly emulate a Multinet tunnel. Is that what
you're thinking of? But in that case you're running DECnet on the Linux
host and simh has nothing to do with it.
I want to learn how to make my DECnet speak Multinet. Rob mentioned wantin=
g to do the same for his "user mode router". So it would be another DECnet=
datalink. Point to point or Ethernet-like?
Yes, I saw the DECnet/Linux code. It's rather puzzling because it seems to=
tie into a tun/tap device -- so it expects Ethernet behavior. But then it=
converts to short headers, which suggests point to point behavior. Which =
is it? The data headers are only a tiny part of the difference between the=
two datalink flavors...

Multinet is a PTP driver, it can speak UDP or TCP and there was a message
a year sgo or so here on th meailinglist from the people at TGV that did it
explaining the details.

When I was at PSU many moons ago one of the places I worked was the

Each machine was named after a color (crayon) and the xdm login screen

It was a neat room when no one was there and all the systems were at
their login screens.
That would've DEFINITELY been neat.
I wish I still had a picture of that.
I wish you did too!
