I think it _COULD_, it's just PPP with some encryption and stuff thrown in. But all the implementations I know just route IP... sampsa On 31 Dec 2012, at 15:26, Jordi Guillaumes i Pons <jg at jordi.guillaumes.name> wrote: El 31/12/2012, a les 14:24, sampsa at mac.com va escriure: I've got a PPTP VPN to my London flat (the equipment will soon be relocated to a 1/3rd colo'd rack, when I sell the place) and run the bridge over it.

SIMH performance on OS X vs Linux

by sampsa＠mac.com

I noticed that Linux SIMH is about twice as fast on OS X. KUHAVX got about 12 VUPS when running natively on a Core i5 iMac, 24 when in a Linux VM on the same hardware. Pretty weird. sampsa

JAVA may as well be the new assembly (though I think its more like the COBOL of future IT, in that we'll spend the next 50 years trying to get rid of it). I don't think I've seen a developer "code" anything lower than Ruby or Python in years... I don't think Sunacle will let Java die. ;) In all fairness, he did say "we'll spend the next 50 years trying to get rid of it". I know someone that was trying to make an IRC bot in x86 ASM... I'll probably do one in PDP-11 assembler, just to spite you. :-) That would be impressive! Can't see why. I have an irc client which I think is less than 100 lines of C. Since I already have TCP/IP on my RSX system, doing an IRC client inspired by that C thing would be a piece of cake. I'll sit down and fix that tomorrow. Doing a bot as a next stop, once that is done, would be easy. You didn't ask that it would be any good, or do anything meaningful. :-) Johnny Johnny On Sat, Dec 29, 2012 at 3:15 PM, Johnny Billquist <bqt at softjar.se <mailto:bqt at softjar.se>> wrote: On 2012-12-29 20:55, Peter Lothberg wrote: But it is fun to see people fail. :-) It is definitely fun to watch people try to break in to VMS. ;) On Sol.Stupi.Se <http://sol.stupi.se/> (59.10) they think it understands X.86 binaries.. I'm sure tehey don't even understand the stackpointer moves UP not down on a DEC20/PDP10. You are giving them way too much credit, Peter. I'm sure most of them would not even know what a stack pointer is... The stack is a magic object that keeps information around in your Java virtual machine...

These are for my network in Beirut, moving there on 30 Jan. I've got a PPTP VPN to my London flat (the equipment will soon be relocated to a 1/3rd colo'd rack, when I sell the place) and run the bridge over it.

INFO.TXT, was Re: [HECnet] UPDATE: HECNET.HLP file for VMS systems

I should probably make a manual HLP file for LEGATO, Bob you OK with that? LEGATO's INFO.TXT have real yucky file attributes and a real yucky file format. :-) (What on earth was used to produce it???)

Expires: <none_specified> File protection: System:RE, Owner:RE, Group:RE, World:RE File organization: Sequential File attributes: Allocation=0 Record format: Stream-CR, no maximum defined Record attributes: Carriage return What does it mean if you have stream-CR and attribute Carriage Return? I mean, yes, each record is separated by a CR, and then what? Add an additional CR at the end of each line? Also, if I pull the file down to MIM, it gets really strange. Dumping the file, there aren't a single CR in the file. Each line is terminated by a LF, so it looks really Unixy. Not sure if something mangled the file during the transfer maybe, or does it look that way on a VMS system too?
