Johnny,
OK I am in Manchester, England, quite close to Rob Jarrett. Some of my VAXES came from
him.
I have MULTINET TCPIP installed on one of the VAXES because I couldn't get TN3270 to
my P390 working.
My VMS never was very good so please excuse the idiot questions.
Dave

Not necessarily. What you need is an RSX system to peer with.
Unfortunately, I think I am having enough connections to MIM to maybe not
be able to hook you up there. But maybe there is someone else around?
Also, maybe someone a bit closer to you...?
Where are you located? And is there someone else with an RSX system
willing to peer?
Oh, and you'd need to install Multinet on your VMS system, Dave.

Johnny,
As I only have VMS systems, and a dynamic IP looks like I am stuck
for a while.

Folks,
Do I still need a fixed IP address to have a node on HECNET? I can't
see anything on the HECNET web site.
No you don't. But it do depend on how you connect.
RSX mulitnet links using TCP handles if you have a dynamic IP address
just fine.
VMS multinet links I think not, and the bridge certainly do not.
