Hi all,
Can someone straighten me out on a few things.
1) Other than the tuhs/pups guys that seem to have archives of 2.11BSD,
is there a central place that manages source / build / patch trees ?
I've seen the "RetroBSD" guys running this on MIPS PIC32 stuff, but I
suspect from my readings thus far they don't much care about the 11
tree.
2) Was 2.11BSD ever ported to other platforms? Given the age/era, I'm
curious about 8088/8086/NECv20/80286 given the banked memory models used
and looking at the 8088/8086 XENIX disassembly.
Thoughts?
Additionally, I'd like to wish you all a safe and happy silly season :)
Al.

Well, I figured it might be fun for people to know that there are, as of
this moment, 405 known node names at MIM.
Not bad...
I know there are some more coming in, and in general, there is a steady
stream of new registrations.
Speaking of which, is noone running a phase V area router? (Or could
phase V not even be an area router?)

.
A Phase V node can act as an Area router, yes.
I would still like to connect to HECnet using a Phase V router (DECnet-plus), but I think there isn't anybody else running DECnet-plus or some other Phase V router?

This is what I could reach earlier this afternoon from GATE18.
Hmm, not sure why you couldn't see my area. (61)
It's entirely possible something here is busted. I don't have details
from the earlier run, but what I'm seeing right now if I MC NCP TELL GW
SHO ADJ NOD is:
%NCP-F-CONNEC, unable to connect to listener
-SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHOBJ, network object is unknown at remote node
I'm treewalking, so if GW is the only uplink, I won't find your internal
stuff.

Is anyone at the moment crawling for the formal section inside the INFO.TXT files (i.e. the .BEGIN-HECNET-INFO -> ..END-HECNET-INFO) parts?
Is it viewable anywhere?
Sampsa
Oh I can see it - my bad.

I've been fiddling with drawing a map of sorts. It's pretty crude, and
it's not generated using DEC software (boo hiss!), but here's a look at
the current output:

I'm sure we can work this out so that you can turn them back on.
I'm all about privacy, but worrying about it in this context (a
private hobbyist VPN) does seem kinda silly.

OK, I'll make it opt-in - if there's an INFO.TXT in the public FAL dir, I'll
run the NCP commands, otherwise I'll show nothing.
Is that OK with you?
Thanks - that addresses the concerns I have.
I hope that anyone who already has a file called INFO.TXT in place will be ok
with the new significance it takes on.
