[HECnet] Hecnet and DDCMP

Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been away. My friend was going to announce it, but I can't remember if he did so. I will check with him. Note that I have only tested it with versions 4 and 5 of VMS, so I cannot say if it will work with RSTS/E.

It would be great to have a DMC11 device emulated, since I insist on running RSTS/E v8 (for historical reasons... it was the last real RSTS before "the pollution"). RSTS/E v8 doesn't have ethernet support, so the only way I could have DECnet is via a (previously unemulated) DMC11 interface. Does yours work well? -Mark On Sun, Jan 1, 2012 at 3:23 AM, Jarratt RMA <robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com> wrote: Working with a friend, I have written a SIMH emulation of the DMC11 device, so you can do this with SIMH. It tunnels the bytes sent to/from the device over a socket. We have used the SIMH emulation to connect my friend to HECnet over a (simulated) DMC11. The bit I am not entirely sure about is to what extent this is using DDCMP as I don't have a full understanding of DDCMP.

Perhaps some tunneling technology over IP, or virtualized serial? Kevin
