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

Earlier today I wrote: > The packet in question is an init packet, used to start up a link. > > If tcpdump knew about this, it would look somewhat like: Since there really is a need for a tool to examine various kinds of DEC protocol traffic, I am trying to put one together. 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

Speaking of old decnet releases

by paulkoning＠comcast.net

Does anyone have the Phase II DECnet that goes with RSTS V7.0? I think it calls itself DECnet/E V1.1, rather confusingly. For that matter, are there any Phase II DECnet releases around? I know of the TOPS-20 one; any others? Ditto for Phase III. paul

DECserver-550 firmware?

by mcguire＠neurotica.com

Hey folks. I'm looking for firmware for the DECserver-550, which gets downloaded into the terminal server by its boot host. Does anyone here have a copy? (It seems I have the firmware for every DECserver except that..) Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Fwd: Sunlink DNA

by phiber＠phiber.com

I posted this message yesterday, but for some reason people are telling me it never went to the list. I removed the photos I originally attached and am sending it again. -Mark ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mark Abene <phiber at phiber.com> Date: Wed, Sep 19, 2018 at 2:58 PM Subject: Re: [HECnet] Sunlink DNA To: hecnet at update.uu.se To everyone who asked, I built TME last night on Ubuntu 18.04 on two different systems, and installed NetBSD 1.6.2 on a sun3/160 instance. It's working very nicely, minus networking; bear in mind that TME was originally written to run on a NetBSD host (it's in the pkg collection), and makes use of BPF to implement networking (I seem to remember it also working on FreeBSD). Linux does have a bpf compatibility interface, so I'll see if it can be made to work and follow up with you all. That said, grab TME here: https://people.csail.mit.edu/fredette/tme/tme-0.8.tar.gz That's the home site, there's lots of info on the emulator https://people.csail.mit.edu/fredette/tme/ There's also this site, specifically about installing SunOS 4.1.1: http://www.abiyo.net/retrocomputing/installingsunos41 1tosun3emulatedintme08onlinux DON'T follow those build instructions, they're incredibly old and will get you nowhere fast. :) Here are my steps: Make sure you have the gtk-2.0 and glib2.0 dev packages installed. Then... mkdir $HOME/tme cd $HOME/tme tar -zxvf your_download_dir/tme-0.8.tar.gz cd tme-0.8 vi libtme/module.c (comment out line 93 "LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS();", it's no longer needed) and save. ./configure --prefix=$HOME/tme --disable-warnings 'LIBS=-lglib-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lX11' export LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/tme/lib (or "setenv LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH $HOME/tme/lib" for csh/tcsh) make make install If everything built and installed without errors, you'll have the install tree in $HOME/tme. From here you can follow the various instructions on the original site above for installing NetBSD, etc. If you ran into any errors either building, installing, or running, just drop me a note, I'd be happy to help! P.S.: I've attached some photos of it booting up! P.P.S: You'll notice it seg fault when you exit tmesh. The original does this too. The author even comments about how there's no "quit" command.

I'm in area 61, and I can get to my area and MIM, but everything else seems unreachable both Saturday and Sunday. Anyone else notice anything weird? Thanks, -Mark

John - are you running MacOS 8 in Basilink II and TSSnet on it?
