Has that changed now? Do I need to use hecnet.softjar.se now for the bridge
connection?

No. If it works now, it will continue to work.

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.
Best regards,
Johnny
