If anyone is interested, I used the VM image called GNS3 Workbench from http://rednectar.net/gns3-workbench/ as my source. I added an appropriate Cisco 7200 binary. Ian. Hello! It asks for an appropriate binary, such as the one you've mentioned. (Of course this is from that site.) Any suggestions? I think I already have the VMware player thingie running around here already. And I have Linux running already. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

HECnet performance....

by roll＠Stupi.SE

It's 12008. I can find you a AC PS. I'm not seriously considering running it just for my vaxen :) Humm, negative waves.. But seriously there is no IOS that speaks DECnet on the GSR. (In theory E0 cards can do it, but OC3 pos and OC12 POS are the only interfaces..) I do have one AGS+, I wonder if it has decnet.. It has DECnet. But maybe only switched by the RP (csc) say 1.5Mbit/s. I'm in Espoo, Finland. We did meet once in the Funet/Nordunet conference at the Technical University in Otaniemi, Espoo. That's to many years ago for me to remember -:) -P
