Ok maybe I need to re-phrase the question.
My ISP now only offers me a dynamic IP address.
My understanding is that Johnny's bridge program is not tolerant of
changing IP addresses. Is that still the case?
Correct.
So based on Sampsa's answer I can connect via a Multinet tunnel and
there's at least one Hecnet member (Steve Davidson) who can
keep that
connected even if the IP address changes?
Correct.
Would that mean I need to move into another area or request
an area to myself?
You need to move to Steve's area, or set one up of your own.
Johnny
Or move to Sampsa's area.
That would very much depend on where he connects, if he is an endnode...

Well Steve Davidson has built a system for updating IP
addresses of MULTINET circuits - it seems to work pretty well.

Hi All,
After a rather suddenly enforced break over 2 years ago I'm in a
position where I can try and get back onto HECNET.
I've renewed my VMS PAKs and have a couple of simh VMS
7.3 instances up again.
Unfortunately when I dropped off back then I lost my
static IP, so
step one, I guess, is asking this: What are the current
best options
the group has found to deal with dynamic addresses?
Alas FLETCH (1.100), my VS4000/60 has suffered some kind of disk
trauma during the intervening 2 house moves so it might
be a while
before I can connect a physical system.
Nice to see the return of the mapping project too - rather more
elegant than my own short-lived efforts.
Cheers,
Pete

I probably mumbled at one time about setting up a gateway via the 'hecnet.eu' domain - alas I don't have the technical skills to do this, but there is a 24/7 VAX SIMH instance running behind that domain that could easily be used to run a gateway.
Regards, Mark.
The subdomain -> machine mapping would be cool, maybe some other MTA like PMDF (or whatever it's called) oculd handle it?

Hi All,
I requested access to HECNET some moons ago. Due to family Business
and heavy Workload in my Day-Job I had to pause this project for a
while.
Now as things settled I am back with my SimH/Vax (running 24/7 on a
raspberry pi) and my Alpha (an Alphastation 255 I newly aquired).
There are Decstations in Storage too (these odd MIPS Boxes) - maybe
one of these could be connected too - provided there's DECNet Support
in Ultrix.
What I'm asking for are three Node-Numbers (I don't need a whole area
- NodeNames would be MINE, EMMA and JACK) and a bit of advice with
Multinet. I have only a Dynamic IP uplink and am absolutely
unexperienced with Multinet.
Best Regards,
Wolfgang

I've used the gateway for a few tests and it worked for me. I am considering subscribing to HECnet and dectech through it.

Which gateway? CHIMPY or the other one?

I remember there being a plan to set up a domain and then set up subdomains for each node, but not sure what happened to that..
* CHIMPY gateways mail to and from the Internet, rather awkwardly though and not all providers like the slightly wacky addresses it produces.

Well, EMEA, I hope to have a few SIMH VAXen running in Beirut ASAP.

Let me re-phrase... GORVAX:: is designed to cover non-US sites as its
primary link. Happy now Sampsa? :-)
Multi-Watch does not care which nodes it connects to. I set Multinet
Tunnel costs lower on the primary link then on the secondary link.
Typical costs are "1" for primary and "2" for secondary. VMS machines
set LAN costs to 4 so priority is given to the Multinet Tunnels. The
tunnels can be anywhere between 4-10 times faster when copying files.
