Every time I get a few free minutes, I do bring up Hercules running VM/370. But without that all important detail, knowing how systems who ran that spoke to each other it is not much fun. However one fellow over on the other side of the pond is a bit more familiar with the way things work says there is a way to do that, and wants to create a hobbyist network of machines running VM/370 in the same way everything is done in this group. In fact he's based in an area not far from one of the larger hobbyist systems we have. Yes Sampsa I mean your UK place. I have the network bandwidth to make things work for me, here, on both sides of the technology fence, but one big hangup, it is a dynamic assigned DSL service, (ADSL) and as such it would be difficult but not impossible. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Hey, might I be welcome to grab a copy of these as well? Yeah, what he said :-) At least for the kits that aren't on the Montagar Hobbyist CDROM. Thanks, Bob

I thought both X.25 was largely an obsolete protocol, that did so about the time dialup service became largely old news? And what finally became of the idea of implementing dialup (Over POTS) to take over when our largely persistent connections become not working? Incidentally Dave right now there is a large furry annoyed and rather wet individual attempting to cause major mayhem in your area.

DECnet over IP question...

I've seen one or two weird things in Phase V backward compatibility in the past, but for the most part, it works just fine. In a previous job, we reluctantly had to use Phase V on Alpha VMS. I never saw any problems with compatibility with Phase IV but despite numerous patches, there were reliability issues (and to a lesser extent performance issues) that never quite went away until the application requiring Phase V was withdrawn and we were able to "upgrade" to Phase IV again :-) Regards, Peter Coghlan.
