There is probably the last used desktop selection "xterm".
Try to select from the session options the CDE desktop before you log in.

I ended up in an xterm terminal and nothing else.
The usual "new DECwindows" desktop was gone.
Any ideas where to look for a fix?
The system is an AlphaServer 800 that had been power
off for a year now.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. High pricing, no inverse DNS (they said it
was "a business decision"...FUCKING SUITS!), not-so-great speed, etc.
But there are no alternatives in SW FL.
This raises the question, what does one want from an Internet
connection? What would be your checklist?
That's like asking "what does one want from a water utility
connection". MOVE THE PACKETS...don't look at them, don't filter them.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Oh, and inverse DNS, either setting them as I specify, or delegating
them to me.

The machine takes 12 drives, so I'll have to pillage my collection to fill this box up. I may be able to find a couple spare for you if those are the style you need. Got anything to exchange?
5.25" drive blanks? ;) Or some SCSI controllers I have something like 4 or 5 I won't use. ;)

There's a couple of FDDI cards which I have no idea what to do with.
Johnny, can you please add two new node names for me?
42.8 FRICK::
42.9 FRACK::
Thanks!

Set up a FDDI ring? (you know, what Fast Ethernet always SHOULD have
been..)

| The ZIP file is still being made: it is called ZI001072.

I run CDE, in such case you would be logged in with
option>session>failsafe, log out and see what options you have there,
it normally "remembers" the last one you used, but may be wrong,
between the intel, hp, alpha, sparc et cetera I may mix a CDE with
another one ...
If I find a minute, I'll fire mine up, is a 5.1 but should be the same
or similar. Had dec windows on ultrix, but the system is long gone,
don't know if I still have the image to run virtualized ...
