Tony,
Flakiness seems to have gone down a wee bit once I replaced
/usr/sbin/dnetnml with a binary built from dnet-progs source. It is
staying up and responding to SHOW EXEC CHAR requests for almost a full
day now.
So far I have replaced two binaries in /usr/sbin with built-from-src -
dnetnml and ctermd.
BTW I tried to reach MASTER but it was down. My two nodes are at 1.553
and 1.554. Would you like an account? And could I have an account on MASTER?
Thanks

I've been busy (as usual) with writing stuff for RSX. And been a bit
annoyed at not having a nice mail gateway between TCP/IP and DECnet. So
I've written one for RSX, which is now live.
This is still very new and not so very tested code, so I really
appreciate any error reports, feature requests, thought, or just stress
tests... :-)
So, without making it any more complicated:
To send mail from anywhere on the Internet to a host on HECnet:
<node>::<user>@Mim.Update.UU.SE
To send mail from a node on HECnet to Internet:
MIM::<user>@<host>
Of course, as usual, PMR addressing works on the DECnet side. Also, this
mail gateway can also deal with local mail on Mim, in case anyone
wonders. And it does *not* relay mail on the Internet.
I've done a cut of BQTCP as well, with this mailer included. But I'm not
officially making a release yet. That is what the next week or so of
testing is leading me up to, though. :-)
And if people try to get this up and working let me know, as the
documentation might still be a bit cryptic as well.
And in case anyone wonder - yes, it does use MX records on the TCP/IP
side. Also, Mim is behind a firewall, so for most people, SMTP access
directly to Mim does not work. However, Mim also have an MX record
pointing to an intermediate machine which then relays the messages on to
Mim, but this introduces about a 10s delay in mails sent from the
Internet to HECnet.

Hi,
I regret I have lost the email announcing the internet email to VMS mail
gateway and would appreciate if someone could forward me those details
one more time.
Thank you in advance,
Supratim
I accidentally managed to disconnect and connect the power connector to
a TK70 while powered on. Now it seems like the TQK70 no longer wants to
talk to the TK70.
Does anyone recognize this, and have any suggestions on fixing it?
The CPU can talk to the TQK70, and it seems to also be functioning
correctly.
However, the TK70 itself seems to be running through self-tests, and
then blinks all LEDs indicating that something is wrong.
I've tried looking at the board, but cannot see anything burned, and I
cannot see any fuses either...

Hi, sorry to ask about something not decnet/hecnet related here, but I'm
out of ideas.
Does anyone have a webserver that will compile and run properly under
Ultrix 4.0 or 4.5? Everything I've tried has failed.
Cheers for any help,
Tony.
Hey all,
My VMS disk died ages ago and I needed to reinstall (thankfully, the
disk is dying again but more slowly)...and in that mess I lost my VAX
NOTES install. :(
Where can I grab a copy of VAX NOTES? I do not recall where I grabbed
it last time.

Hi,
I have just become the proud owner of a DECmate II (in original
packaging no less :-). I had hoped to do something fun with it, but
unfortunately at the moment is is loaded with WPS. So, I was hoping to
load OS/278 onto it. Unfortunately, I don't have anything that I can
use to write the floppy images to.
So, after Googling around I came across something called a KryoFlux:
https://www.kryoflux.com/?page=home
They don't specifically say that the support RX50, but I did find a
couple posts on their forum suggesting that maybe it could be done.
Before I go off and buy one of these (and a 5.25 floppy drive, although
not from them...) I was wondering if anyone out there had used this
before? Maybe a different solution?
Alternatively, if there is someone out there who could help copy the
OS/278 binary and source images to RX50, I would be really appreciative.
I'm more than happy to pay my way and provide the disks.
Anyway, thanks in advance.
Regards, Tim.
Hi,
Just a somewhat late heads up. Due to some electric work in the building
that houses our server room all services at Update will be down
tomorrow, thursday June 29, from 15:30 to (probably) around 18:30 CEST.
