My new ES40 arrived! It seems to be in reasonable condition, too. It's got 2 x 833MHz processors and 3Gb of RAM. There's no hard drives, but I have plenty of HP drives with sleds that fit.
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?

42.9 FRACK::
Done.

If Ian doesn't have any extras I have a whole frakken box of them.
They were the SCSI variety with the fixed tabs and I got them on Ebay about 4 years ago for a fibre project that ended up stillborn. They seller knocked the tabs off so they would fit a Compaq M5413 FC box but otherwise they are identical.
Get with me off list if you want.

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. ;)

Well, have to test myself. It's so long a time since I've been working
with Tru64 that I've forgotten many details. It's late now so I have to
test tomorrow.

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

The system is an AlphaServer 800 that had been power

| Cory,
| I found the dna51a kit on an SPL cd in the JAN 2008 kit.
| The .dd file and its zip-ed version are now on TITAAN.
| There's two ways to get to TITAAN:
| - ftp to 87.209.50.192
| - do a dcl copy
| The usercode is GAST and it password is HECNET
| The ZIP file is still being made: it is called ZI001072.
| right now and once the ZIP command will finish it's called
| spl20082.zip

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.
