Hi, I have just finished doing a bit of network cleanup on my ASA and 1841 and noticed that a number of the HECnet GRE tunnels seems to be down or possibly misconfigured. I know that my IP address changed a while back as part of the transition to Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN) and my router can now be found at 110.141.227.104. I am pretty sure that Brian sent out an update, but I'm not sure how well it was applied. Since changing IP addresses I've only been able to establish a tunnel with 50.131.218.138 (area 42). However, when I attempt to ping the other end I am unable to reach 42.1023. After looking at my firewall logs I noticed that someone at 81.135.164.245 was attempting to establish a GRE tunnel. After looking at the existing configuration I noticed that it was a similar address to what had been last configured for area 22. I made the change and now I can establish a link to area 22 and I can successfully ping 22.1023. However, that is were it ends. I have tunnels configured for area 59, 23, 61, 9 and 52, but I have no connection to the other end. Worse, I have no connection to the HECnet as a larger entity. Is anyone else other than myself and Mark Darvill still using the tunnels? If there is a lack of interest in the maintenance, I would be happy to take it over and start running the bridge here too. Thoughts? Anybody... :-) Regards, Tim.

DECnet for DOS / Rainbow documentation?

by nw＠retrocomputingtasmania.com

Hi HECnet, I am scouring the Internet for DECnet documentation (I've looked in the usual places), does anyone have any of the DECnet for DOS or DECnet for Rainbow documentation? DECnet-Rainbow Installation Guide DECnet-DOS Getting Started DECnet-DOS User's Guide DECnet-Rainbow Release Notes DECnet-DOS Installation Guide Also particularly interested in the version 1.1 of the software too (we have 1.0 but it was significantly improved/updated with 1.1). thanks, nigel.

Multinet connection in UK

by dhall.hecnet＠dhcl.co.uk

Is there anyone in the UK/Europe that would be able to provide me with a connection to HECNet via a multinet link? I'm connected off AS8676 - the node IP is 217.65.167.14. It's not currently reachable via ICMP but if you ping 217.65.160.9 you should get a reasonable idea of latency. cheers, Douglas

TME Emulator build instructions

by raywjewhurst＠gmail.com

A couple of months ago someone posted how to get the TME emulator to build on Ubuntu 18.04. I just got a new computer and realized that I didn't archive said instructions. I would like to set it up so that the tmesh executable is in /usr/local/bin. I am not much of a programmer more of an OS history enthusiast so figuring this out on my own is bit out of my league. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Ray

MIM

MIM is in yo-yo mode right now. John Wilson is trying to work out why the multiprocessor emulation have some issues. Sorry for any interruption of service. This might go on for a day or so.

For instance it can now handle HECnet bridge packets (hopefully). --Johnny

Feeling somewhat isolated here in area 29

by Keith.Halewood＠pitbulluk.org

Hi, I have a TCP (via multinet) connection to IMPVAX which is hardly ever down. It is at the moment. Anybody else willing to give me some links to other areas? Regards, Keith

If tcpdump knew about this, it would look somewhat like: Init, 1.13 info 01 size 576 ver 2/0/0 timer 300 Why MIM decided to restart the link is another question. --Johnny

In case anyone is interested: http://https://www.pdc.kth.se/~bygg/tops/anfdump.tar Don't let the ANF part of the name fool you! It can do the following: * listen for ethernet frames with ANF-10, DECnet and LAT. * listen for DDCMP (simh-style over TCP or UDP), with decoding of payload (ANF-10 or DECnet). * listen for Multinet over TCP, with decoding of DECnet. * do several of the above, in parallel, if you want to see how a box in the middle molests your data. * read (and write) pcap-format files. As usual this is a work-in-progress, and some things (like the manual) are missing, but the code mostly works. Use the -h flag for help at this time. --Johnny
