However, for the US, it would be nice if we could identify a location on each coast,
which have a capable system, and normally is always online, and which have a good
bandwidth, and would be willing to setup connections to new machines that want to come
online.
So, are there any takers? I'll continue to be the first point of contact when people
come asking, but I'd be happy if I could redirect them to the appropriate person once
we have figured out a few basic details.
And then these two persons can work on establishing the actual link.
I?m not quite ready, but I?m headed in the direction of being able to do this, and I?m on
a 50Mbit commercial line. Today PDXVAX is a VAXstation 4000/60. I?ve been planning to
migrate it to SIMH running on a RPi3+. Once it is migrated, I can keep it online during
the summer (which I can?t today). I just need to figure out how I want to image the
drive. I run your bridge on my Firewall, and I have MultiNet running on PDXVAX, but I
don?t think the Multinet link is active anymore.
As a reminder: my Python DECnet implementation supports bridge connections, Multinet, GRE,
SIMH DDCMP... so it should be able to serve as a communication hub for this kind of
application. It would probably benefit from some additional testing. I haven't
touched it recently, but last I did it appeared to get all these cases right.
It has basic monitoring (via http) though currently no configuration while running, only
via a config script read at startup.
