If you have 667MHz processors and Ian can't use them, I could use them to throw in the es40 I have sitting in the living room that's going to Dave. It only has 2 processors. ;)

Your PII is incapable of moving data fast enough to scratch the
surface of FDDI. But yes, I'll give you a few, and a FDDI concentrator
and some cables and related stuff if you want. (fold it into that big
deal we're working on)
Hmmm. Maybe I could use them in my NAS and ESX box as.a SAN instead...

If there is interest in FDDI hardware - I was given a box with a load of

happy to help get someone up and running as required.

I may be interested in the ES40 processors. My ES40 should be arriving today. I have no idea what it's got in it, but perhaps it needs some additional processors. I'll let you know.

The xxa-kit is a WAN drivers kit. That's not a full DECnet-plus kit. The correct kit is called dna51a .

If you have all or some entities already created, you cannot do it again.
You should first shut the DECnet-plus (DECnet-OSI) down to remove all
the entities before you can try to create and enable them again.
There should be template scripts on the system which you can edit to
make them suit your configuration.
It would help a lot to read the DECnet-plus manuals to get a clear
picture of how it works and how to manage it.

Here should be the data link entity defined completely as is done below.
It would be more clear if you use another name for the routing circuit

True -- FDDI would fit the bill. The hard part is finding the infrastructure. And while FDDI to 10 Mb/s Ethernet bridges are common enough, FDDI to fast Ethernet is probably harder to find. (I'm not sure what DEC products, if any, offer that. Gigaswitch, perhaps?)
Was gigs switch that big honkin' modular backplane deal? Whatever that was called took 100m modules as well as FDDI modules and bridged it. I used to have one of those. Never got it running due to the sheer hugeness of the bastard.

Hello!
I (think) I am following the correct NCL syntax here...but..
ncl> create node 0 routing circuit csmacd-0 type = csma-cd
ncl> set node 0 routing circuit csmacd-0 data link entity csma-cd
Here should be the data link entity defined completely as is done below.
It would be more clear if you use another name for the routing circuit
entity than is used for the csma-cd station entity.
ncl> set node 0 routing circuit csmacd-0 enable phaseiv address true
ncl> enable node 0 routing circuit csmacd-0

I run DECnet phase V on three True64 systems, V5.0A, V5.1A and -B.
No problems. What decnet kit are you using?
Whatever version was included with the xxa31a kit...I was unable to find the proper DECnet kit. If you have it, could you give it to me please?
The xxa-kit is a WAN drivers kit. That's not a full DECnet-plus kit. The correct kit is called dna51a .
I can make the kit online tomorrow if nobody else is quicker.

You can use the DECnet-plus for OpenVMS documentation, because NCL vocabulary is exactly the same on both platforms. On Tru64unix the other DECnet related commands differ from OpenVMS; like
SET HOST -> dlogin
DIR -> dls
etc
The DECnet-plus documentation resides at:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/decnetplus.html
Are you trying to configure your Tru64unix system to communicate with HECNET Phase IV nodes?
If so, why don't you just use the provided configuration tool? That's a lot easier than trying to accomplish the configuration manually.
Yes. And I would use the tool...except it segfaults when I run it.

If you have all or some entities already created, you cannot do it again.
You should first shut the DECnet-plus (DECnet-OSI) down to remove all
the entities before you can try to create and enable them again.
There should be template scripts on the system which you can edit to
make them suit your configuration.
It would help a lot to read the DECnet-plus manuals to get a clear
picture of how it works and how to manage it.
