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.
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
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 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.

There are now some updates/bug fixes. For instance it can now handle
HECnet bridge packets (hopefully).

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

The packet in question is an init packet, used to start up a link.
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.

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,
I am suddenly seeing this from IMPVAX. Not sure what to make of this ?
