I just checked mail headers and noted thongs down. Restarted bridge and mim. I'm pretty much offline until Saturday, so I'll catch up and respond to mails then.

Hello list,
Some months ago I asked for help regarding one of my Vaxstation 4000,
whose power supply appeared to be dead. I have finally found the time
(and the mood) to take apart the PS from the machine and open it to take
a look. I have got to vandalize it a little bit, since one of the screws
was completely stuck in place... nothing that a creative use of a dremel
tool can' fix ;)
What I have found is one of the two big fuses near the mains connection
is blown. This _should_ be good news, since all what I have to do is to
find a compatible fuse. But I wonder what will I find when I replace it.
There is nothing obviously burnt in the PS. The big capacitors look good
(even shiny, once I've blown off the dust), and there is no funny smell
at all.
So, my next step will be to replace the thing and see if it blows up again.
Just a question for the repair savvy... is it safe to power up the PS
outside of the vaxstation?
I'll tell you how the thing evolves :)
regards,
Just thought I'd mention from yesterdays conversation. It loks like for linux there maybe some kernel update rpms for using decnet with linux. This is something I'm interested in. IDK about anyone else.

Can I take my copy of VMS which does not have installed phave iv or decnet plus and load one of them to use these commands? They weren't there earlier today but I don't have networking installed with VMS.

@sys$manager:netconfig // is involved.

Hi Steve,
I'll be going as I reside around the corner from InfoAge. I'll can lend you
& VCF a hand with anything DEC & VMS.
