[HECnet] Mim.Update.UU.SE

Some people might have noticed that Mim.Update.UU.SE have not been reachable the last week. This is because the University have decided to put all systems behind firewalls, which hurt the Update computer club pretty bad. For people who would still like to get access to Mim, I have now setup telnet to listen to a second port in addition to port 23. Mim is now accessible by telnet on port 10023 as well, which is not blocked by an firewall. In addition, I also added ftp on port 10021 in addition to port 21, so people who would like to get to files on Mim by ftp can do so again. This also prompted me to make a couple of improvements to BQTCP/IP for RSX. The changes are that the telnet daemon can now be set to listen to an alternative port, and can also listen to several ports. I also added the capability to the ftp client to specify which port to connect to. The TCP/IP package can be found at ftp://mim.update.uu.se:10021/ However, if you have the previous version of TCP/IP for RSX, you cannot access this address, as the previous version ftp client did not accept a port argument. So it's a bit of a chicken and egg thing. But using some intermediate system, you can get the disk image to the machine, and install the new version, after which things will be possible to use more or less as before. One more thing: NEMA, my very tiny EMACS clone for RSX, have gotten a lot of work done lately, and if anyone is interested in this tool, I really recommend that you fetch the latest version. A port to VMS is also included with the files now, courtesy of Erik Olufsen. NEMA is available at ftp://nema at mim.update.uu.se:10021/ Johnny -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B.
