[HECnet] Announcing TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS

Sorry for making a new announcement so close after the previous one, and the changes are not so great, but I think they are important enough to send this out right away. The only thing this release addresses is DECnet over IP: . First of all, you can now also run DECnet over IP using TCP. The DECnet over IP implementation have been tested a lot in the last few days, and some things in the VMS Multinet protocol was not so well understood by me, and the code did not work very reliably against VMS for that reason. With the help of Bob Armstrong I've rewritten this code now, to behave more like VMS does, and my initial testing indicates that it now works the way it should. So I'd recommend anyone who is using this feature to upgrade to the latest version right away. As usual, the distribution is available from: ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.dsk ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.tap ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/pdp11/rsx/tcpip/tcpip.dsk The documentation is also available through ftp on Mim, or also at http://mim.update.uu.se/tcpipdoc Note! I've realized that BQTCP/IP do not work right if you have a PDP-11/74 with multiple processors online. I'll fix that at some point, as it's probably just a case of affinity not being set on devices, nor relevant processes. This might only be a problem with telnet in fact. I know for sure that the IP and TCP drivers works ok in multiprocessor systems.
