[HECnet] HECPAC

Sure. Since dynamips runs the real IOS with a real config, I can send you a copy of my config so you'll see exactly how to config the cisco as a packet switching router with integrated vintage X.29 PAD. -Mark On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 10:38 AM, Cory Smelosky <b4 at gewt.net> wrote: On Tue, 14 Jan 2014, Mark Abene wrote: Yes, this is purely for nostalgic reasons. It's great having an actual X.25 network again after so long. The routing and PAD access is accomplished on emulated Ciscos (using dynamips/dynagen). DECnet Phase V/Plus/OSI is unfortunately needed by VMS in order to support the X.25 protocol itself. However "xotd" will work on any linux system, provided you mod a network listener daemon to bind to address family X25 (I modded telnetd as a simple test) so you have something to connect to. And if anyone knows where I might find an old tape installer image of PSI for TOPS-20, let me know. :) Add me to this. I'll use my real Cisco and some sort of terminal server hackery. -Mark On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 4:02 AM, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> wrote: (Johnny - sorry for the plagiarised name, just thought it fit) So Mark Abene and me (well 99% Mark Abene) has managed to get a working X.25-over-IP setup going. We can currently connect Linux systems and VMS boxes, but unfortunately they have to be running DECNET Phase V.. In any case, it's a fun toy, I don't think it's actually useful in any sane sense but I quite like the idea of having my own X.25 network.. sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +44 7961 149465 -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects
