Hello Johnny,
I can't remember what info you need for the node database but I forgot about two SIMH
machines:
Name: PI1 - SIMH VAX 11/780 running VMS 5.4. Node address 5.99
Name: PI2 - SIMH MicroVAX 3900 running VMS 7.3 Node address 5.100
Regards
Rob

As I've also told Paul in private, I this is really great. It's been on my
wish-list for
many years, but have not always been so easy to figure out how to do. Paul did
some impressive work on PyDECnet, and now added this, making it really nice!
Thanks a lot.
I hope people can look at it and be a bit impressed on how far HECnet spreads
out. And of course, there is also the possibility for people to see if they might
benefit from getting some links up in cases where they can see that they are
really connected though some odd place from their point of view.
And to just briefly also give a bit of tech information. The positional data is
extracted from the nodename database I have on Mim, so if people spot they
are placed wrong, or out in the south Atlantic, all you need to do is give me a
better position, and I'll update the nodename database, and you will magically
be corrected on the map as well (within a day or a week, depending on how
often the generated map is updated).

Gentlepeople,
I've added a map maker to PyDECnet, which is now on-line on HECnet. It
currently refreshes once every 24 hours, showing locations and paths between
the locations. You can hover over the location markers to see nodes that have
been recently observed, or click on the markers to see all nodes whether
observed or not. Clicking on the connecting arcs will tell you which nodes have
connections on that path.
The map is here: http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/map
You can also see a tabular display of the data collected by the network
scanner,
at http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/map/data . Right now that link
isn't shown, I'll add that.
Feedback would be welcome. There is no map legend yet. The button on the
upper
right is the "layers" tool that lets you chose among a number of map
sources, and lets you turn the location and/or path information on or off.
The default map is OpenStreetMap, and the mapping interface machinery is
the
Leaflet package, a very nice and easy to use tool.
