[HECnet] MIM move...

As some people have noticed the last few months, MIM have been difficult to reach. It has come to the point where I just have to move the machine to a new place, as I'm not having much success solving the current situation. For people who maybe don't know, Mim is a PDP-11/74 (simulated) which runs RSX-11M+. It is kindof a hub for Hecnet, as well as a resource for anyone who wants to find documentation or information about RSX, and also to find various software for RSX. I will move Mim this weekend, and so it will be down for a while. Hopefully this will be a fairly smooth operation, but I'll let people know when it's going on, and my expectation is that it shouldn't be more than a couple of hours. Mim will also change address and name because of this. The new address to reach Mim on will be Mim.SoftJAR.SE. This name should be stable for the forseeable future. Physically Mim will move from Sweden to the US east cost, and be living at LSSM. A big thank you to LSSM and Dave McGuire in particular for helping out with resources for this. In practice, for everyone else, once the move is done, it means that: . Any reference to Mim.Stupi.NET needs to be changed to Mim.SoftJAR.SE. . Any multinet circuits connecting to Mim should adjust their costs. See the HECnet information page on Mim about this. . I will also create a new PyDECnet node at LSSM to act as another connection point for people who might not be able to connect to hecnet-1-1023.stupi.net, but which are still in area 1. . hecnet-1-1023.stupi.net will still be around, and will still be possible to use. This do mean that area 1 will be more geographically spread out. Not ideal, but I'm not expecting this to cause any major issues. Performance for some might get a bit better or worse, depending on various aspects and conditions. But in general, if people just keep costs aligned with recommendations, things should work well.
