Apologies if this sent twice my mail server/email client is being a brat again
Mail.app and Zimbra are quite sensitive. ;)
I think I just accidentally sent the same messages about 3 times each. Oops. Hooray glitches.
Sorry guys.

My Finland-based 3G is faster than the UK DSL, except for pings of course.
In fact the whole HILANT:: cluster is connected over 3G (USB dongle plugged into a router).

Guys,
I made another version of the grapher to JUST look at the router connections:

Does this look about right?

My primary VPS would need another IP and a little bit of MAC hackery, but I might be able to get my provider to allow that. It runs FreeBSD and I don't think any alpha simulators run on it natively alphavm-free may run in linux binary compat, though...
We don't need Alphas, if we're running LAN over IP, just use SIMH. That'll build easily on NetBSD :)

Wow. Time to move!

Real (and FAST!) Alphas are not at all tough to find; I don't see the
point of Alpha emulators.

My mail server on the other hand has plenty of bandwidth and blocks no protocols, but it's running low on RAM.

Let me know when you got the VPN up - I'll roll a SIMH-VAX and cluster it with you :)

It even mentioned hobbyist clusters over the internet as a practical implementation. ;)
I'd be up for trying a cluster over the internet
Do you have the bandwidth for a high-performance one, or would we end up with a high-latency constantly-exploding one? ;)
My London site does about 1.5 Mbps up, 17 down, local (UK) ping of about 20-30 ms, up time at the moment is 57:13:59, but that's because I rebooted the router after some changes.
On a related note: How hard would it be to modify Johnny's bridge to carry LAN-over-IP traffic? Not sure I want to upgrade my boxes to 8.4
